Munim Thahmid

Final-year CS undergraduate at BUET. Working on reliable and secure software systems, AI for software engineering, and LLMs for code.

I am a final-year Computer Science & Engineering student at Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET). My research interests span reliable and secure software systems, AI for software engineering, and LLMs for code, with a particular focus on software reliability and testing.

My thesis, advised by Dr. Sadia Sharmin, interprets multilingual speech models for Bengali through layer-wise probing across Whisper and XLS-R. Alongside academic work, I spent over a year at Yobo AI building backend systems and testing infrastructure for production AI voice-agent applications.

Research
ConfigDiffGuard
A Python CLI that compares old and new vLLM configurations and flags risky changes before deployment. Curated 36 configuration-sensitive vLLM GitHub issues into three reliability-oriented failure families, and implemented YAML/JSON parsing, tracked-parameter diffing, 12 warning rules, and scored risk reports — with 5/5 intended evaluation cases passing.
Python vLLM Static Analysis
Bengali Speech Representation Analysis & ASR Adaptation
BUET thesis on interpreting Bengali representations in multilingual speech models using FLEURS, Common Voice Bengali, and MMS forced alignment. Layer-wise probing across Whisper and XLS-R showed intermediate layers strongest for Whisper language separation, and XLS-R-300M substantially stronger than tested Whisper variants on Bengali aligned-unit probing, reaching macro-F1 0.6884 in the pilot setup.
