What I'm looking for

I seek roles building user-focused software, contributing to research projects, and collaborating with cross-functional teams in growth-oriented organizations.

I am a Computer Science graduate from COMSATS Islamabad with hands-on experience building Java applications and leading field research projects.

I developed user-focused systems including a Restaurant Management System and a Task Reminder Application, applying object-oriented principles, secure authentication, and real-time features.

As a research assistant and project lead, I conducted large-scale fieldwork in Gilgit Baltistan, interviewing thousands and coordinating with government and UNDP stakeholders to inform cultural and economic projects.

I also led and promoted the COMSATS Debating Team, managing a team of 12, securing sponsors, and strengthening communications and organizational capabilities.
