Hi, I'm Jahidul Islam Rahat

Embedded Systems | IoT | Automation | UAV

I’m Jahidul Islam Rahat, a 25-year-old Embedded Systems Engineer with a strong passion for Robotics, IoT, and UAV technologies. My journey in these fields began in 2017, and I have been deeply engaged in these fields since 2019.

Currently, I work as a Research Assistant (Embedded Systems Engineer) at Qatar University. Previously, I held full-time roles for over four years as an Embedded Systems Engineer – II and R&D Engineer, gaining hands-on experience in designing, prototyping, and deploying embedded solutions.

I hold a Diploma in Electrical Engineering and a Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Science Engineering. My professional drive comes from solving complex, real-life problems through technology, and I continuously seek to expand my expertise in cutting-edge domains like UAV systems.

I thrive on working with emerging technologies and turning innovative concepts into practical, impactful solutions.

DMA Sentry System

Datasoft - Product

Designed and implemented a wireless sensor-based IoT gateway solution using both WiFi and GSM connectivity. The system can detects intrusions, identifies their type, and send real-time alerts, including location to a central server. It triggers an audible alarm for a few minutes and supports auto-disarming, both autonomously and via remote commands from server administrators during non-operational hours. The gateway features adaptive network switching between WiFi and GSM based on signal strength to ensure uninterrupted communication without losing data. Currently deployed in every Super Shop of Shwapno across 800+ units spanning 64 districts of Bangladesh.

AMR (Automated Meter Reading)

Datasoft - Product

Designed and developed a GSM-based system to automate water meter readings system without modifying existing analog meters like a plug-and-play solution. The device collects daily water usage data, stores it locally for a week, and then transmits the information to a central server for billing. It also supports on-demand respond and remote configuration without any on-site access. Deployed in Dhaka WASA 100+ units.
