Amit Rahman

I was born in 1980 in Bangladesh. Afterwards I spent a couple of years in Europe and USA as my father worked for UNICEF. Since 1985 till 1999 I lived in Dhaka, the capital city of Bangladesh. Then for my higher studies I went to Singapore. Did a diploma graduation on Computer Science and Engineering. Started my career in 2001 as a software developer. In 2005 however I decided to leave the field and study English literature. Got an honors graduation this time in 2009. I have been working as a broadcast journalist in NTV, Bangladesh from 2010.
