my resume

After completing my Masters in Computer Science and Media from Bauhaus Universität Weimar, I continued my career working as a Software Developer with solutionDrive. I was responsible for development of Shopware based E-Commerce sites and plugins.

During my Masters, I was working part time for Kuzo Media. It is a Web solutions company based outside Weimar, that specializes in E-Commerce websites and Shopware Plugins.

Originally I come from Karachi, the biggest city of Pakistan. It is one of the most underestimated yet fascinating cities in the world. In Karachi, I was working as a Software Engineer with Express Media Group for their news portal The Express Tribune and some other online entities. Before that I was working with Vbroadcast (formerly VPype), a live broadcasting Facebook application.

I have excellent command over developing user friendly, optimized, fast, bug free, smart web-applications and websites with a simpler and easily understandable yet optimum code. In my latest role at Exasol, I have moved towards Enterprise Business Applications, their architecture and data flow.

We live in a high tech era where every single day new technology out dates the old; however, not every technological advancement is inclined towards positive improvement or betterment of the society and this is where we need Kaizen to take over.

Kaizen is a Japanese philosophy which refers to positive improvement or change for the better and this is what I try to implement in my work and personal life.
