I joined Catalyst IT Solutions as a Software Engineer, where I have been involved in the development of trading systems, hedging software, and back-office portals. At Catalyst, I worked on KITS for the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) and played a key role in building the new trading system. Additionally, I have contributed to multiple projects at CDC House, including RDA (Roshan Digital Account) and other financial platforms.

I founded BeginTech during my 5th semester at university and have since played multiple roles including Developer, Project Manager, and Business Developer. At BeginTech, we deliver projects across platforms like Upwork, Fiverr, and the local market. Our portfolio includes restaurant management systems, POS solutions, e-commerce websites, mobile applications, logo design, and digital marketing services. We’ve also worked on innovative IoT-based projects, including smart home automation and mind-controlled devices. I’ve led and developed both local and international projects, with a strong focus on quality and client satisfaction. As the founder, I’m actively involved in growing the company, managing teams, and ensuring successful project delivery across all domains.

I joined KDYS when the company was primarily focused on WordPress development. With the support of the directors and founder, I helped establish a full-fledged custom development team and initiated work on complex, tailored software solutions. At KDYS, I played multiple roles including Project Manager and DevOps Engineer. I was responsible for building and leading the technical team, hiring developers, introducing modern technologies, and overseeing the development of multiple custom portals. While my primary focus was on management, I also guided developers on system architecture, team collaboration, and best practices. I actively trained new interns and helped shape a culture of quality and learning.

I joined Technado as a Software Developer and was later moved to their child company, OIP (Outsource In Pakistan). I worked on a wide range of projects, including multiple e-commerce stores and custom data scrapers. I also contributed to the development of OIP’s internal portal, where I built the attendance module integrated with biometric devices. Additionally, I worked on backend APIs and microservices for mobile apps. In the Hire in Pakistan platform, I supported project management and played a key role in developing the real-time chat system and related backend features.

I began my professional journey at Arwaj Solutions as an intern, initially working on DevOps tasks. I later transitioned into a PHP Developer role, where I contributed to some of the company’s core products, including SIMSIN and Simsin Parho — one of Pakistan’s leading ERP and school management platforms, and also among the country’s first portals to support online learning for schools. During my time there, I worked on multiple modules such as attendance management, payroll, HR management, and book management systems. I also integrated SMS services using Eocean for real-time communication with parents and staff. I primarily worked with PHP (CodeIgniter) and HTML5, delivering efficient, user-friendly solutions for educational institutions. My performance led to my promotion as a Software Engineer within the organization.
