01 — My Journey

Engineer by discipline.
Problem solver by instinct.

I'm a PEC(Pakistan Engineering Council) accredited BS mechanical engineer from NUST, Pakistan's top engineering university, with a focus on manufacturing, maintenance, and the practical side of Industry 4.0. My interest is towards making industrial systems able to sense, think, and execute themselves.

Currently working as a Trainee Engineer at PSEC(Pakistan Spring and Engineering Co.), three best attributes of mine are that first, I turn industrial problems into practical, scalable systems. second, When solving problems or creating systems, I make them for all the expected scenarios so that they can survive. third, I network and function through cross departments to make things seamless
