Abdullah Al Mamun has joined Meta, the parent company of the social networking site Facebook, as a software engineer. He holds a bachelor's degree in computer science and engineering from the Dhaka University of Engineering and Technology (DUET).


He sought admission to Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology in order to pursue his aspiration of becoming an engineer (BUET). Even though he was denied the chance to get admitted there, Mamun didn't quit. He enrolled in the Polytechnic Institute to pursue his engineering passion. He was then allowed to join the duet.


He earned a scholarship to study computer engineering at King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals in Saudi Arabia after completing his undergraduate studies at Duet. From Florida International University, he later earned a PhD in computer science. He has been looking for technical jobs with internet behemoths like Facebook and Google in the meanwhile. He has participated in hiring processes at several tech behemoths, including Raku, FedEx, LinkedIn, Tesla, and Uber. However, his position did not fit with these businesses.


Tech firm Meta sent him an offer to work as an e-four software developer at their Menlo Park, California, headquarters following a seven-step hiring procedure. He encouraged everyone to dream big by writing on Facebook. Everyone was advised by him to keep striving and to avoid comparing themselves to others.
