What I'm looking for

I seek a role combining telecom network optimization and AI-driven software projects where I can lead technical delivery, improve KPIs, and drive scalable cloud-native solutions.

I am an innovative computer systems engineer with over 15 years of experience in telecommunications and IT, specializing in RAN/RF engineering, NOC operations, and AI-driven software development.

I have led network optimization and large-scale rollouts across Pakistan, UAE, and Africa, improved KPIs (throughput, CSSR, handover rates) and resolved high-priority customer issues while managing transitions and managed-services projects.

I also design and implement full-stack AI/ML solutions and HRMS platforms using React, Python, Spring Boot, Google Cloud and AWS, delivering measurable efficiency gains and high client satisfaction.
