Early life and education
Hemi was born on 10th June 1977 in Lalpur, Bangladesh. Hemi grew up in a middle-class family with five siblings, him being the youngest one. His father was a government employee, and his mother was a housewife.
As a kid, Hemi was an avid fan of Cricket and dreamed of becoming a professional cricket player. He even participated in several tournaments, honing his all-rounder skills. But his family pushed him to focus more on studying rather than the game. His father wanted him to pursue a career in medicine, which eventually became impossible due to Hemi's average grades. This resulted in him and his father coming to an impasse, and his father refused to talk to him.
In 1996, his father retired from the government job, and his family suffered financially, trajecting towards poverty. At this time, Hemi was 19 years old and decided to start his career in order to support his family. Upon moving to Australia, Hemi also acquired a bachelor’s degree in Business Information Systems in 2007.

He took up several temporary jobs to keep a steady income and help his family in such trying times. Simultaneously Hemi also learned to put computer parts together from scratch by himself and honed his skills over time resulting in getting more job opportunities on the basis of that. Later, a company that Hemi was working for, offered him a contract to teach Microsoft Excel at the Australian High Commission and asked him to run this program.[7]
In 2002 as an analyst programmer at MPA. After working for a year at this firm, he joined Selectus as a senior business analyst, where he served for a year and then began working at ANZ on a similar post. After serving for over two years at this firm, Hemi, in 2006, joined City West Water as a senior business analyst, where he stayed for over a year.[8]
