Ships two live products, built with AI

Finass came out of the thesis. He built the MVP of the AI fintech assistant the research was written around, then kept going until it was a working self-hosted budgeting app: accounts, income, spending, transfers, loans and subscriptions, with insights that make sense.

The DJ Devyni Quiz Platform came later, out of his own projects: a multi-quiz pub-quiz platform with public registration and live pricing, question submission, an admin control centre, and a browser-based presenter mode that replaces PowerPoint.

"I don't hand-write the code. I direct AI to. I do the product thinking, the specs, the testing, the deployment and the taste. Then I ship."

MBA thesis: DeepTech entrepreneurship across two ecosystems

"DeepTech Entrepreneurship in Contrasting Ecosystems: A Comparative Analysis of Lithuania and Bangladesh Using an AI FinTech Assistant Case". It compares how deeptech ventures actually get built in a small, mature EU ecosystem versus a large, emerging one, using an AI-driven fintech assistant as the case study.

The case study did not stay on paper. He built the MVP of that assistant, which became Finass.

CyberCare: support engineer, trainer, then senior

Joined CyberCare (the support arm behind NordVPN) as a Customer Success Manager, resolving incidents across Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android and Smart TVs. Two things came out of it that weren't in the job description.

Users in Iran were being cut off entirely. He piloted a workaround over alternative infrastructure, measured it, and got a 21% resolution rate for people who had simply been blocked, then wrote it into standard macros so every agent could run the same fix. Separately, when an internal log parser broke, he coordinated with Nord Security, Risk and IT and rewrote it himself in PowerShell and C#.

Nain independently conceived and developed several features that significantly improved and accelerated the workflow for all agents across the Unit (such as a log reader and a server look-up script). These tools were successfully integrated into daily operations. Kipras Kunigėlis, his manager at CyberCare

In between, he was picked as the prime candidate for a competitive Training Specialist internship, hired for two months and extended to four, rebuilding the technical onboarding pipeline and reporting trainee-readiness metrics to team leads and HR. Came back in January 2026 as Senior Customer Success Manager.

Founds The Mad Team and becomes "The MadMan"

Starts out solo, coming out of COVID and working his way through the branding and marketing world one project at a time. By 2023 it had become an actual team, a creative agency running 100+ projects for clients including Banglalink and UNDP.

Not only a creative job. He ran the internal servers behind it, covering centralised file storage, secure client delivery, archiving and backups, and put agile workflows and QA in place to stop projects slipping. Then pushed the studio onto 4K live multicam and cinema-camera workflows for concerts, which nobody locally was doing at that level.

Thesis: a quadcopter that flies, then walks

"Quadcopter Flying and Walking Mechanism using Same Limbs". An X8 coaxial quadcopter whose flight arms convert into 3-DOF walking legs, driven by 16 MG995 servos and 8 BLDC motors, driven by an APM 2.8 flight controller paired with an Arduino Mega.

The same-limb design kept failing under torque. The fix was to stop forcing one set of limbs to do both jobs and redesign the chassis around separate limbs. That was the point at which the project started flying and walking.

Co-founds Positive Bangladesh

The 2016 Holey Artisan attack in Dhaka left him and his friends, in their own words, in complete shock. The answer took shape as Positive Bangladesh, formally founded in March 2018. A platform giving at-risk youth somewhere to channel their energy, built to replace extremism and hate speech with creativity and compassion.

It reached people using comic and stop-motion video series, awareness formats Bangladesh had never seen used this way before. He ran creatives and documentation.
