I’m Tushar, a data analyst and computer science engineer in Melbourne, Australia. I hold a Master of Data Science from Monash University (July 2025) and a Bachelor of Computer Science and Engineering from North South University in Dhaka.
I work as a Data Analyst at Gaura Travel (also trading as Global Travel Xperts and iFlynow). I joined in May 2026 as an intern and now work part-time. My work sits where data meets automation. I designed the four-layer architecture behind the company’s automation ecosystem: Playwright for browser automation, FastAPI services managed by PM2, n8n for orchestration, and PHP/MySQL for storage and dashboards. It covers airline ticketing, payments, reconciliation, stock management, email ingestion and reporting. See the projects page for how the pieces fit together.
Before that, I was a Research Assistant and Teaching Assistant at North South University, where I published a first-author paper at BMVC 2022, and I led data work on GigNestMel, a Monash capstone product for gig workers in Melbourne that earned a Distinction. Today I’m bringing that machine learning background into day-to-day work, fine-tuning small self-hosted language models that classify customer needs from call transcripts.
Outside work I self-host n8n on a home NAS behind Tailscale, write small desktop tools in Rust, and read a lot about databases and typography. My cv has the details, and the notes section holds the occasional write-up.
