About

Software Engineer & AI Developer with a strong track record in full stack development, generative AI, and community-led initiatives across Pakistan and the UK.

I’m a full stack developer and AI engineer who enjoys working at the intersection of code, community, and impact. From leading large-scale events at UET Lahore and GDG Dev Day to building production systems for the Government of Punjab, my focus is on turning complex ideas into reliable, user-centered products.

My journey started at the University of Engineering and Technology, Lahore, where I combined teaching assistant roles, research internships, and community leadership with hands-on engineering. Since then, I’ve shipped AI-powered platforms, automation tools, and real-time systems, while helping students and early-stage developers navigate their own paths in tech.

Started CS at UET Lahore, became class representative and joined Software Square.

2023

Founded WOIX, took TA roles for PF and OOP, and began organising local tech events.

2024

Stepped into AI/ML & CV internships, became MLSA Lead for Punjab, and launched Dev Jirga & Tech Nexus initiatives.
