Founder, TextileTuts
I'm a textile engineer with a bachelor's degree from Ahsanullah University of Science & Technology. I spent three years as a Production Engineer at Knit Concern Ltd, a composite garment factory, before starting TextileTuts.
The goal is simple: explain textile technology clearly enough that students, professionals and curious makers can all use it.
