Hello, it’s me, Rifat Hossain Mahin. Let me introduce myself my journey began with a degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering (EEE), where I developed a strong foundation in circuit design, signal processing, and embedded systems. Like many EEE graduates, I initially imagined a career in power systems or telecommunications. But everything changed after graduation, when I realized that my EEE knowledge could directly contribute to saving lives and improving patient care. I always had a passion for applying technology to improve human health.
At the beginning, the transition was quite challenging for me. I took steps to shift my path: I applied for entry-level roles at hospitals and medical device companies, starting as a junior biomedical engineer at Gono Shastho Nagar Hospital.
Through hands-on work maintaining medical equipment like dialysis machines, dialyzer reprocessing systems, ECG, infusion pumps, and more, I gradually gained experience and trust. My EEE background gave me an edge in troubleshooting, circuit analysis, and equipment calibration skills highly valued in the biomedical field.
Eventually, I became a biomedical engineer, involved not just in maintenance but also in generator servicing and oxygen plant maintenance essential systems in any hospital. I even collaborated with doctors and IT teams to implement IoT-based patient monitoring systems a direct blend of electronics and healthcare.
Today, I’m proud to say that I contribute to a field where technology meets humanity. My journey shows that with curiosity, adaptability, and dedication, an EEE background can open doors to a meaningful and impact career in biomedical engineering.
