About Me
Hi, Quvi here. I am a second-year Ph.D. student in Computer Science at Northeastern University, working in the Systems Research Group (SRG) advised by Prof. Xiang (Jenny) Ren. My research interests lie in the intersection of Performance Debugging, System Reliability, Program Analysis, Operating Systems, and Compilers. My current research focuses on automated instrumentation placement and root-cause localization of performance issues in production systems, with minimal runtime overhead.
Prior to my Ph.D., I was a Systems Research Intern at OrderLab, University of Michigan, advised by Prof. Ryan Huang, and a Research Assistant at the Applied Machine Learning Lab, Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET), advised by Prof. Anindya Iqbal. I graduated from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, BUET.

A Little More About Me
In my spare time, I love exploring new frameworks, programming languages, and Linux distributions. I enjoy building small apps, software, and scripts for personal use.
I became a self-taught programmer during my teenage years, driven by curiosity and a passion for learning. My coding journey began at 13 when I ran my first C program. Back in 2012, as a 7th grader, I was fascinated by web development—creating websites with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, jQuery, and PHP. That same year, I taught myself C programming, followed by JavaScript, Java, Android Development, Visual Basic.NET, C#, SQL, and more. I even experimented with game development in Unity but quickly lost interest in it, and shifted my focus to Security and Penetration Testing.
During high school, two of my most significant projects were a Remote Administration Tool and an Android app for emergency situations: EmerApp. My passion for problem-solving and software development continued to grow, and in 2018, I secured the 8th position in the BUET admission test (out of 10000 candidates).
C/C++ remains my most favorite programming language for building system software. For web development, I prefer Javascript, and I enjoy using it for both frontend development and Node.js applications. Currently, I’m working on a hobby project, Project Algorist, which aims to make learning data structures and algorithms more accessible for the newcomer community—completely free. I actively solve problems on AtCoder, store my projects on GitHub, and love reading e-books from The Pragmatic Programmers.
My other hobbies are reading books, travelling, watching movies, and playing video games. I’m a huge fan of the DC Comics and the Mr. Robot series. I also enjoy playing games like GTA San Andreas, GTA V, and Call of Duty. I’m a big fan of the Call of Duty series and have played every game in the franchise.
