Since I was a kid, I've been fascinated by computers and what makes them tick. I loved taking apart my PC, trying out different things, and even messing around with the software on my Android phones which even caused 2 of them to die. By the time I was in matric, I started learning to code with C++, then moved on to languages like C#, Visual Basic, and Python. Along the way, I explored web development with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Wanting to automate tasks, I learned Selenium for making bots and Python for web scraping. I also got into managing data with SQL and creating user interfaces with Python Tkinter. Each language taught me something new, helping me become better.

But it wasn't until I got to university that I found my real passion. That's when I discovered the MERN stack, a set of technologies for building web applications. It was like everything clicked into place, and I knew that this was what I wanted to do. Later on, I also went ahead by getting into React Native for cross-platform mobile applications.

During my time at university, my brother and I decided to start our own company, Anemoia PVT LTD. We wanted to create software that made a difference and pushed the boundaries of what was possible. From mobile apps to websites, we've been working hard to build cool stuff that people love to use. Up until now, we have launched more than 20 products for different clients worldwide out of which 5 are large-scale banking apps and websites. And currently on a mission to launch our own products very soon. Today, Anemoia PVT LTD is growing fast with over 25 members, most of them Hitec alumni. We've got a great team of people working together to build amazing things, and we're always looking for new challenges to tackle. Our goal is simple: to use technology to solve problems and make people's lives better. And as long as we keep working hard and staying true to our values, I know we'll succeed.

My advice to fellow alumni and juniors is to pursue their passions relentlessly. Instead of chasing money, focus on continuous learning and personal growth. Explore different fields, find what resonates with you, and commit to becoming the best in that domain. Hard work and dedication are key to success. Remember, success is not just about achieving monetary goals but also about making a meaningful impact and leaving a legacy of innovation and excellence.

I have honed my skills in software development through diverse professional experiences, starting as a Junior Node.js Developer at HYCUBETECH in Rawalpindi, Pakistan, from August 2021 to November 2021. Here, I focused on developing REST APIs using TypeScript/JavaScript within the serverless framework, while also collaborating closely with the QA team to meet unique customer demands for waste management software. Transitioning to Zigron as a Node.js Backend Developer in Islamabad, Pakistan, since December 2021, I have been instrumental in driving API development using Node.js, GraphQL, and PostgreSQL. Notably, I optimized database queries, pioneered Test Driven Development (TDD) methodologies, and led the implementation of firmware and configuration updates for solar panels, all contributing to project success. These experiences have shaped my expertise and commitment to delivering robust, innovative solutions in software development.

As a proud graduate of HITEC University with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, my connection runs deep. Engaging in extracurricular activities and projects enriched my experience, fostering invaluable skills. The supportive environment and impactful experiences have profoundly influenced my career path. HITEC University remains integral to my educational foundation and professional journey.

To current students and fellow alumni, I offer this advice: Embrace every opportunity to learn and grow, both inside and outside the classroom. Be proactive, curious, and resilient in the face of challenges. Remember that success is not always linear; setbacks are opportunities for growth. Cultivate a strong network of peers, mentors, and supporters who can guide and inspire you along the way. Most importantly, stay true to your passions and values, and never underestimate the power of perseverance and hard work in achieving your dreams.

Warm Regards

I joined HITEC in 2011 after completing my A Levels and opted for Electrical Engineering. After passing out in 2015, I entered the world of professionalism.

I began as a Management Business Associate at PTCL before transitioning to Attock Refinery Limited as a Management Trainee. Afterward, I joined Atlas Engineering and Controls as an Assistant Manager (North Division), gaining extensive experience in equipment handling and refining managerial, communication, and technical skills. Despite a layoff due to COVID-19, I persevered and found a new opportunity at Novel, a US-based renewable energy organization. Over 3 years, I progressed to Utilities Manager, showcasing adaptability and commitment to growth in the renewable energy sector.

My inspiration has always been a trust that I have put in; in myself that there is always light ahead of the dark only if you wish to see it. Believe in yourself! Never compare yourself to anyone and always try to be supportive, helpful to others. Because whatever you spread, will make its way back to you! Be honest and find your path!
