About
Md. Siddiq Hasan is an HR and business operations manager, author, and botanist by training.
Where I started
I grew up in a village in Bangladesh surrounded by fields and trees, and that curiosity led me to the Department of Botany at the University of Dhaka. I completed a B.S. and an M.S. in Botany there, and worked for three years as a Research Assistant in the Plant Taxonomy, Ethnobotany, Herbal Medicine and Conservation Biology Laboratory. My thesis examined the taxonomy and morphometrics of the Anacardiaceae family and their potential in structure-based drug design for cancer. That work produced seven peer-reviewed papers, including publications in Scientific Reports and Medical Oncology, and an NST Fellowship from the Ministry of Science and Technology.
What I do now
In 2024 I moved into people and operations. As HR Manager at Silicon Orchard Ltd. I look after the full employee lifecycle, HR policy, compliance, and office operations. As Business Operations Manager at Dhaka Technologies Limited Company I work across people, processes, and client partnerships. Research taught me to work carefully with evidence; management taught me to work carefully with people. I try to bring both to every decision.
Beyond work
I have written two books, Plantae and Swadeshi Brikkho. I photograph plants and share short nature videos on my YouTube channel, learning from Nature, and I still write about plant science for Plantlet. In the future, I plan to continue with graduate research in plant science.
