Supporting Techglomerate as technical evaluator for hybrid coding and system design work. In the past decade the priority was to evolve aptitude and technology hopping capabilities while keep reading reviews of technologies growth, trend and adoption. 

The professional journey begin in 2012 from Industrial research which carry forward the applied computer networks research, and software development skills in degree at NUST. Recent work at University of Malaya (UM) along with Masters degree by Research teach me the academic core values and systemic way of finding solution and problem at the same time. I fond of networking to discuss, share and collaborate for increased Internet safety, inclusion and startups.

Have been focusing diverse technologies for safer and sustainable Internet space. Current aim is to connect the unconnected through partnering and supporting technical ideas for backward compatibility into large distributed legacy systems.

I am passionate about the Internet operational challenges in wireless networks, distributed systems and governance aspects involving last mile wireless/cellular network connectivity. Since 2010, I have been involved in Industrial research and my bachelors degree project was also in collaboration with Internet Service Provider (ISP). After graduation I remained connected with technical stakeholders in Pakistan and volunteered to organise and facilitate various community meetups and conferences. The upskilling workshop during SANOG27 went awesome in Nepal and that was the time I decided to proceed for Master degree in Cloud computing from Universiti Malaya (UM), Kuala Lumpur. After joining UM, I accelerated my learning and capacity building activities in Cloud computing for my Masters degree research as well as projected myself into a diverse, International and multi stakeholder work culture. The learning and contribution toward discussion among technical communities within the Internet ecosystem contained and acquitted many Mentors, friends, and potential collaborators using the platform of ICANN, APrIGF, IETF and ISOC.

During my Masters degree I was awarded Research Assistant (RA) position and worked mainly on two Industrial research projects. One of the projects was about open source implementation of RDAP (WHOIS) and increasing its adoption and it was funded by APNIC foundation through ISIF Asia grant. The project involved implementation of IETF standards as well as technical community outreach. The second project was implementing the business use case of Enterprise DRM solutions (SkyDRN and CloudAZ) of NextLabs Singapore. Both projects were well completed and personally I learned about legal, compliance, organisational role and operational challenges in deploying new large scale distributed applications.

I really enjoy working in multicultural and with many stakeholders. As Graduate Research Assistant (GRA) at UM I have been doing research in application layer security which can potentially help in content security. Even though I have joined Industry again, however, I am still

connected to academic research and my two journal articles are under review. Although my topic revolves around Digital rights management (DRM) approaches using fog computing for data provenance. The access control, implementation skills, software testing, and automation skills were lifelong and are relevant to this description. I have strong interest in distributed systems such as 5G and next generation access network technologies and systems for their application in interdisciplinary areas.

Notable successes include the following:

●  Over a decade experience of working in the Asia pacific region to gain skills, train teams and share expertise in Internet operation research and implementation at various levels

●  Solidifies Interest in emerging technologies in ethical growth, positive trend and human centric smooth adoption

●  Innovating and reimplementing methods for cellular network platforms using Cloud computing and automation

Having all my past work and volunteer experiences in delivering cutting-edge research and academic contributions. I am confident that I have the required mindset and skills to contribute. I have a welcoming attitude as a team player with solution oriented critical thinking and love to work in an agile team. Please provide me an opportunity to elaborate more on, how I am the most suitable candidate for this position. I can be reached via email and mobile contact.
