Creative Lab

The Creative Lab is an experimental space where I prototype new ideas, explore innovative data visualization techniques, and build high-impact tools to solve global governance challenges.

Featured Prototype

PolicyLens AI

The World’s Most Rigorous AI-Powered Policy Audit Tool

PolicyLens AI is a sophisticated full-stack application designed to perform automated, 9-dimensional impact assessments on public policies. By combining the analytical power of Claude with real-time data from the World Bank, Transparency International, and Hofstede Insights, it provides a "J-PAL Grade" evaluation in seconds.

Core Innovation: The 9-Dimension Framework

I engineered a proprietary analysis engine that cross-references uploaded policy documents against nine critical global benchmarks:

  • 01
    Economic FeasibilityLive integration with World Bank GDP, poverty, and GINI data.
  • 02
    Corruption RiskReal-time scoring via Transparency International (TI) CPI 2023.
  • 03
    Cultural AlignmentDeep-dive analysis using the Hofstede 6D Model.
  • 04
    Global StandardsAutomated mapping to UN SDGs, ILO, and CEDAW frameworks.

"With PolicyLens AI, I have digitized the role of a Policy Consultant. By automating the verification process against global data sources, this tool provides governments and researchers with an immediate, objective 'Stress Test' for any proposed legislation, ensuring it is culturally aligned, economically viable, and corruption-resistant."

Real-Time Source Verification

Implemented a Source Verification System using trust badges and live API fetches to eliminate AI hallucinations.

Upcoming Project

LDC-Impact Vision

Predictive Funding & Transition Analytics for Bangladesh 2026

LDC-Impact Vision is a strategic forecasting tool designed to visualize the macroeconomic shifts following Bangladesh's graduation from the Least Developed Countries status. It helps policymakers, researchers, and NGOs track the "Graduation Gap"—the transition from highly concessional LDC grants to more complex blended finance models.

The Problem It Solves

Post-2026, Bangladesh will face reduced access to the Least Developed Countries Fund (LDCF) and shifts in trade preferences (EBA). Most government departments lack a unified, real-time dashboard to see which specific sectors (Health, Agriculture, Infrastructure) will lose the most concessional funding.

Core Features

  • Funding Erosion HeatmapsVisualizes which upazilas and sectors are most reliant on LDC-specific grants that will expire post-graduation.
  • Transition SimulationUses AI to model alternative funding scenarios, such as the transition from grants to Green Climate Fund (GCF).
  • SDG-LDC LinkageMaps how the loss of specific LDC funds will impact our progress toward the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.

Technical Deep-Dive

Intelligence Layer

Built on the same 9-Dimension Framework as PolicyLens AI, adapted for the UN's Smooth Transition Strategy (STS).

Visualization Engine

D3.js / Recharts providing interactive, divisional-level maps scaling the "Mymensingh Model" nationwide.

Source Integrity

Grounded in UN Committee for Development Policy (CDP) guidelines and WTO's S&DT data.

API Integration

Live funding data from UNCDF, World Bank, and the Bangladesh Planning Commission.

"Graduation isn't just a milestone; it's a data challenge. LDC-Impact Vision ensures that as Bangladesh moves forward, our funding strategy is built on foresight, not just memory."

Institutional Alignment

This tool will serve as a flagship product for Insights Bangladesh, demonstrating how aigovbd.org's global policy frameworks can be applied to solve the most urgent economic challenge in Bangladesh's history.

National First

FactCheck BD

Bangladesh’s First AI Fact-Checking Engine

I engineered the first AI-driven fact-checking platform specifically tailored for the Bangladeshi information landscape. In an era of rapid misinformation, this tool utilizes advanced Natural Language Processing (NLP) to identify, verify, and debunk false claims in real-time, focusing on the linguistic nuances of both Bangla and English.

Core Innovation: The Verification Pipeline

To ensure "J-PAL Grade" accuracy, I built a multi-stage verification architecture:

  • Step A
    Claim DetectionAn AI model that scans social media and news feeds to isolate "checkable" claims.
  • Step B
    Cross-Referencing EngineLive API integration matching claims against verified databases like BBS and PID.
  • Step C
    Contextual Sentiment AnalysisDetecting "Emotional Hooks" often used in misinformation to alert users of potential bias.

Technical Stack

NLP Framework

Fine-tuned BERT/LLM models for Bangla semantic understanding.

Backend

High-concurrency Python/FastAPI to handle real-time news streams.

Database

Vector database for fast "Similarity Matching" against historical rumors.

"I am the architect behind Bangladesh’s first AI-powered fact-checking tool. By merging Political Science insights with advanced AI, I have created a system that doesn't just 'check facts'—it protects the integrity of our national discourse."

Transparency First

Aligned with the International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN) principles, ensuring citations for every fact.

Scalable Solutions

Designed to support the NagorikBD ecosystem by ensuring data-driven citizen governance.

Linguistic Precision

Specific training on the nuances of Bangla and English within the regional socio-political context.

Civic Advocacy

Creative Media & Civic Advocacy

The Voice of the Transition: "Vote for Yes"

As a writer and researcher, I recognize that true institutional change requires more than just algorithms—it requires a shift in the national consciousness. During the Interim Government period, I authored and released "Vote for Yes," a civic anthem designed to mobilize the youth and emphasize the importance of democratic participation.

Project Overview

  • 01
    Release ContextProduced during the critical election transition in Bangladesh to inspire a new generation of voters.
  • 02
    Lyrical ThemeFocused on the concept of "Jobabdihita" (Accountability), transparency, and the collective power of the citizen’s "Yes".
  • 03
    Cultural ImpactTranslating complex political science theories into a rhythmic narrative that resonates with the general public.

Bridging the Artist & The Engineer

In my Creative Lab, this work represents the "Narrative Layer." While tools like NagorikBD and PolicyLens AI provide the data and infrastructure for a better Bangladesh, my creative writing provides the inspiration to engage with those systems.

Why Music?

"Technology builds the road, but culture provides the direction. My work in songwriting is an extension of my AI policy research—both are dedicated to ensuring the citizen's voice is heard, counted, and respected."
