ABM Shahedul Islam (Autal), 
Kingdom of Saudi Arab:

To fulfill my parents' dream, I embarked on a journey to medical school with unwavering enthusiasm. However, it wasn't long before I discovered my true passion lay in mathematics rather than biology during my high school years. This revelation prompted me to make a pivotal decision, shifting my focus towards engineering. After successfully obtaining my Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, I ventured into a diverse array of industries including synthetic yarn manufacturing, vegetable oil refineries, and natural gas processing plants under the esteemed Ministry of Oil, Gas, and Mineral Resources. It was during this time that I recognized the importance of gaining skills in instrumentation and control of production and manufacturing, which motivated me to complete an Advanced Diploma in Computer Science.
Driven by a desire for personal growth and knowledge enhancement, I made the decision to upgrade my qualifications. I seized the opportunity to go to Canada, where I successfully obtained a Masters of Engineering degree with a specialization in green energy technology, in addition to a post-diploma in wireless networking. This educational achievement opened doors for me, and I joined Intergraph Canada, a prominent organization providing design support for process plants in the oil and gas industries. Later, I transitioned to Honeywell Aerospace, where I played a crucial role in the control device production department in Canada. 
While engrossed in these professional pursuits, an intriguing opportunity surfaced in the education industry within the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Driven by the belief that my extensive industry experience could serve as a valuable asset to aspiring professionals, I embraced the teaching profession with great delight, despite the late stage of my career. It is a path that I enjoy immensely, cherishing the opportunity to make a positive impact on the lives of future generations.
 In my free time, alongside my commitment to continuous professional development, I indulge in various hobbies that nourish my spiritual growth. One of my passions is reading different Islamic books, delving into the depths of Islamic knowledge, and exploring the insights shared by esteemed scholars. I find solace and enlightenment in listening to lectures delivered by renowned Islamic scholars, which further enriches my understanding of the faith. Additionally, I immerse myself in the profound wisdom of the Quran through studying its Tafseer (exegesis) accompanied by translations that enable me to comprehend its teachings on a deeper level. These activities not only provide me with personal fulfillment but also contribute to my spiritual journey and strengthen my connection with the Islamic faith.
