Trajectory

01 / FOUNDATION

Most of what I know, I learned by shipping. A search engine that streams 150+ clothing brands through Kafka and Spark. A drone-routing engine where four classical AI algorithms cooperate to plan a delivery run. A text-based Flutter app that argues with you. Plus two months building full-stack at New Web Order — React, Next.js, Tailwind, Supabase. Different stacks, same habit: build it, deploy it, find out what breaks.

02 / SYSTEMS

I'm a final-year IT undergraduate at Bahria University, and the coursework went lower down the stack — operating systems, networks, databases, algorithms, assembly. Two of those became builds rather than papers. A segmented network for a four-floor call center: VLANs per department, ACL-enforced isolation, RIP routing, centralized config backup. And a seven-phase Windows Server deployment covering Active Directory, DNS, DHCP, IIS, Remote Desktop Services and Cisco NAT. Academic work, done hands-on. Not production experience — but not theory either.

03 / DIRECTION

That second thread is the one I'm following. Infrastructure and security is where I'm heading, and the honest position today is early: the coursework built a foundation, the self-directed work is what comes next. What's on this page will change as that happens.
