What I'm looking for

I'm seeking an opportunity to work in a diversified environment with renowned organizations and excellent teams, contributing my research, planning, surveying, mapping, and environmental awareness to sustainable development.

At MM PAKISTAN (PRIVATE) LTD, I led block-level land use planning for a 38 km corridor along Rawalpindi Ring Road. I differentiated the approach for its urban-facing northern and peri-urban southern zones, integrating residential, mixed-use, commercial, and institutional uses with green buffers and open spaces.

For DHA Phase-10 Lahore, I contributed to concept master planning, including the land use structure, road hierarchy, and zoning framework. I also assisted with a sustainable, walkable planning strategy and prepared presentation materials for client review.

At DHA City Karachi (South), I prepared contour-responsive physical planning for steep, ridge terrain. I replaced a conventional grid layout with roads and plots aligned to natural contours, balancing infrastructure costs with land efficiency and reduced environmental disturbance.

Earlier, I worked on planning and approvals for housing schemes and city projects, including Capital Smart City Islamabad, Lahore Smart City, Soul City, and Kingdom Valley. My project work includes master plans, land subdivision layouts, GIS applications, and planning for hilly terrain.
