About
Most of what I use now, I learned for something else.
I’m Raisul. I studied engineering, learned web development, spent months on data science and ended up in digital marketing, then product. Few of those steps went where I planned. Over time they started to connect, and now I’m building with all of them.
01 · Foundations
- Degree Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Rajshahi University
- c. 2018 HTML, CSS, programming
- c. 2020 Python, data analysis, machine learning
I learned things before I knew where they would fit.
I studied Electrical and Electronic Engineering at Rajshahi University. It didn’t make me an engineer by profession, but it gave me a habit I still rely on: wanting to understand how a system works before deciding what to do with it.
Around 2018 I started learning HTML, CSS and programming because I wanted to become a freelance web developer. That didn’t happen. Later I spent months on Python, data analysis, machine learning and the maths behind them, and I didn’t become a data scientist either. At the time, both felt like detours.
02 · Work became real
- 2021 Digital marketing
- Feb 2022 Remote, with a UK-based team
Then one practical skill turned into a job.
When the pandemic kept universities in Bangladesh closed for far longer than anyone expected, I stopped waiting. I started learning digital marketing, because it was a skill I could turn into remote work.
In February 2022 I joined MeasureMinds Group, a UK-based team, as a remote Digital Marketing Executive. The role began with SEO and social media and kept widening: content, email, websites, automation and video. For the first time, the things I’d been learning had a real job to do.
03 · Measurement
- Web analytics GA4 · Google Tag Manager · tracking and measurement
Measurement changed how I think about everything else.
Web analytics was where the early detours started paying off. I already understood how websites and scripts fit together, so GA4, Google Tag Manager and tracking made sense quickly. The data work helped me read what the numbers were saying, and know when to question them.
It changed my habits too. I stopped asking only what we should publish next, and started asking what people actually did and what evidence would change our minds.
Some of what I learned sat unused for years. Then it found its job.
04 · From marketing to product
- Product Product marketing, then product management
I wanted to help decide what gets built.
Marketing taught me how people discover a product and decide whether it’s for them. Analytics showed me what they did next. Together they kept pulling me towards the product itself: the problem it solves, the evidence behind a decision and what should come first.
Over time I moved from marketing into a product role, working on research, priorities, releases and growth. The title matters less to me than the change in question, from “how do we promote this?” to “should we build this, and why?”
05 · Building now
- Now AI-assisted development, system design
Now the pieces are working together.
AI has changed how fast I can learn. It helps me work through software development, architecture and system design far faster than I could on my own, and it brings my earlier web and data learning back into daily use.
VocabCue is where I put that into practice: a live product I design and build using AI-assisted development. I’m not a trained software engineer, and I’m still early in system design. Building something real is how I’m learning it properly.
Today
Where the pieces meet.
I now work where product, web analytics, marketing, AI-assisted building and technical systems overlap. I’m not the deepest specialist in any one of them. What I bring is understanding how they connect.
What that lets me do
- Find the real problem
- Reason about a product and the people using it
- Work with data, and question it
- Build working systems with AI
- Judge what AI produces before trusting it
- Ship, measure and improve
The skills became more useful when I started putting them into things of my own.
I’m still learning. I’m still building.
I’m always open to meeting other builders and exploring thoughtful collaborations.
