Summary

I am a passionate and skilled Chef with diverse experience working as a Chef and Kitchen Assistant in Australia while pursuing full-time studies in culinary arts. These roles allowed me to develop a strong foundation in food preparation, kitchen operations, and delivering high-quality dining experiences. In 2018, I successfully managed my own restaurant, Bismillah Biryani House, in Bangladesh, showcasing my ability to lead and innovate in a fast-paced environment. Driven by a desire to expand my knowledge and expertise, I decided to move to Australia to follow my passion for culinary arts, embracing new techniques and global influences to refine my craft.
