Hi, I'm Sizan.
Most of what I know, I learned by building. I notice a problem, ask why nobody has solved it, break it apart, build something, watch where it breaks, and write down the lesson. Then I do it again.
Right now that loop runs mostly through Bongo Wiki. I started it in 2018 as a Bengali blog. Today it is a content platform for young people in Bangladesh. I also co-founded Uppr Studio, Priyo Shikkhaloy and UniBard.
Underneath all of it is one question I keep asking: why do people think, believe and decide the way they do? Why does one story change someone's mind while another gets ignored? Why do we sometimes pick a comfortable narrative over an uncomfortable truth?
I write because writing is where I find out whether I actually understood something. This site is where I think out loud. I work from Dhaka. More about me.

What I am working on
Bongo Wiki is the main one. There I own the technology, the product and the business side. Alongside it are Uppr Studio, where we build software, run campaigns and make content for brands, Priyo Shikkhaloy, a Bangla exam-prep app, and UniBard, a study-abroad consultancy. The ventures page has the details, and the things I built on the side are on projects.
