What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead and improve secure IT infrastructure, campus networks, systems, and technical teams in a higher-education or similar environment.

I've led the IT Department at Hamdard University Islamabad Campus since 2015, building and maintaining the campus network, servers, firewalls, security systems, and IT services.

I developed a centralized secure network that scaled from 300 to 750 nodes, using structured star topology, IP subnetting, Layer 2 and Layer 3 devices, MAC-based Wi-Fi, and enterprise firewalls.

I also manage campus systems, CCTV, biometric attendance, procurement, website updates, inventory, ISP relationships, video conferencing support, and team mentoring. Earlier, I supported academic operations and taught computer applications, networking, SDLC, web development, and SPSS.
