Introduction

I am a dedicated and skilled Computer Engineering professional with a strong foundation in software development, cybersecurity, and digital transformation. I completed my B.Sc. and MS in Computer Engineering from the University of Engineering and Technology (UET) Taxila, where I also served as a research scholar at the Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) Lab. At GHQ, I worked as an ERP Expert from August 2023 to August 2024, utilizing Oracle APEX along with SQL and PL/SQL to design and implement digital solutions for Organization. My work involved developing user-friendly interfaces, integrating databases, and streamlining documentation processes to support digitization. Currently, I am working as a Lecturer at FAST-NUCES, Chiniot-Faisalabad Campus, where I am committed to fostering innovation, technical growth, and academic excellence among students.
