What I'm looking for

I am seeking senior roles in network/cloud infrastructure where I can design, secure and optimize enterprise systems, work with cross-functional teams, and lead operational improvements and automation.

I am an experienced network and cloud engineer with extensive hands-on experience designing, implementing and troubleshooting LAN/WAN and cloud infrastructures across Pakistan and the Middle East. I have managed MPLS, SD-WAN, VPNs, routing protocols, and multi-vendor firewall implementations while leading operational support and change-management activities.

I have also delivered systems and cloud engineering work in Azure and AWS, built and maintained virtualized platforms with VMware and Hyper-V, administered Linux and Windows server estates, and automated operational tasks using scripting and configuration tools. My background includes telecom site engineering, optical network planning, and enterprise Active Directory and Exchange administration.

I hold an MS in Telecom Engineering Management and a BSc in Electrical Engineering; I bring a practical, documentation-focused approach, a track record of resolving complex infrastructure issues, and a commitment to reliable, secure, and scalable enterprise services.
