What I'm looking for

I seek senior project management roles in telecom/fiber infrastructure where I can lead large-scale OSP, GPON and submarine deployments, drive technical excellence, mentor teams, and deliver on-time, high-quality network rollouts.

I have over 15 years of experience leading design, planning, deployment and O&M of fiber-optic networks across metro, long-haul and submarine projects. I specialize in OSP/OFC, FTTH-GPON, SDH systems and large-scale network rollouts.

I have managed major national deployments supporting defence and commercial operators, including submarine SEA-ME-WE-5 works and multi-hundred-kilometer metro OFC networks, and led 15k house-pass FTTH/GPON projects and BRT Red Line OFC rollouts. I am a registered member of the Pakistan Engineering Council and have completed industry certifications including Huawei O&M and PMP training.

I deliver technical leadership, vendor management, BOQ and link-loss budgeting, and cross-functional teams for end-to-end project delivery. I focus on reliable, scalable network design, practical field troubleshooting, and mentoring teams to meet tight schedules and quality standards.
