## About

```text
At MazikGlobal (Pvt) Ltd., I drive product strategy and growth for industrial portfolios, including AI-driven solutions and IoT remote monitoring frameworks. I also align technical resources and IT development strategies with enterprise client needs.

At Inoviotech (Pvt.) Ltd., I directed IT infrastructure and security strategy and maintained 24/7 availability across corporate digital services. I managed multi-cloud environments using Azure, OCP, Contabo, and Vultr.

At BankIslami Pakistan Limited, I designed and scaled a secure WAN connecting more than 300 branches. I led a voice and data overhaul using Huawei and Yeastar IP Telephony that cut infrastructure costs by 70%.

At Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited (SNGPL), I designed and validated corporate LAN, WAN, and VPN networks for utility operations. I also drafted technical RFPs and led bid evaluations under PPRA rules.
