About

Hey there! I am Shubhashish Dev. I completed my BBA in Marketing in 2019 from IBA, University of Dhaka. I am currently working as a Business Consultant at Truvalu.enterprises Bangladesh. Previously, I worked for Abul Khair Group, Ace 360 Digital, ISCEA and Buyart.net.

As for my hobbies, I LOVE to learn new stuff. Right now, I am enrolled in a After Effects course. I am an avid language learner too. I am working on my Spanish and German right now. I am planning on learning Portuguese later. I have a knack for graphic designing. You can see them here. I am also designing my own cursive font "Bluedream" similar to my Calligraphic Handwriting. And I have recently finished a project to develop an easy way to Learn Morse Code.

Besides all of these, something that never tires me off is reading. I can never have enough of it. I read non-fiction books, mainly related to business and investment strategy. You can see them on my "Fav books" section. I occasionally write on Medium as well.

But, hey! Enough about me! I want to learn about you too. Why don't we sit for a coffee then? My treat!
