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.

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.
