I am a Computer Science academic and technology professional with over seven years of experience across higher education, applied research, software development, and technology-driven initiatives. My work integrates academic expertise with practical industry engagement, with a strong focus on Artificial Intelligence, Database Management Systems, Software Engineering, Mobile Application Development, Programming, and Modeling & Simulation.
Currently serving as a Lecturer at Karachi School of Business & Leadership (KSBL), I contribute to teaching, curriculum development, research supervision, Outcome-Based Education (OBE) implementation, and the development of industry-aligned learning experiences. My professional focus is on advancing applied computing, strengthening academia-industry collaboration, and translating technical and research expertise into practical educational and organizational value.
I hold a Master of Science in Computer Science from the Institute of Business Administration (IBA), Karachi, and a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from Iqra University. My technical expertise spans Python, Java, SQL, database technologies, data visualization, and software development, supported by specialized interests in Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Intelligent Document Processing, Quantum Computing, and emerging computational technologies. My academic and professional experience also includes curriculum design, academic assessment development, OBE implementation, research supervision, project management, educational technology integration, and professional capacity building. Prior to my current academic role, I contributed to educational and technology initiatives at The Citizens Foundation and the Foundation of Computing and Sciences, where my responsibilities included project coordination, curriculum development, training, and educational content development. These engagements also included professional development initiatives through which I trained more than 100 educators.
Advisory & Consultancy Experience
My teaching portfolio covers a broad range of undergraduate Computer Science subjects, including:
· Artificial Intelligence
· Database Management Systems
· Advanced Database Management Systems
· Software Engineering
· Mobile Application Development
· Programming Fundamentals
· Web Application Development
· Modeling & Simulation Beyond classroom instruction, I actively contribute to course and curriculum development, assessment design, student mentoring, research supervision, and Bachelor’s Final Year Project supervision. My teaching approach emphasizes applied problem-solving, project-based learning, and the integration of contemporary technologies into academic practice. My industry-oriented experience includes a Risk Analysis Capstone Project for Dubai Islamic Bank, involving the application of computational and analytical methodologies to financial risk-related challenges. I have also contributed to AI-powered Optical Character Recognition (AI-OCR) projects with 10Pearls, focusing on intelligent document processing and the application of artificial intelligence to extract, interpret, and process information from document-based data. These engagements strengthen my ability to connect academic concepts with real-world technology challenges and incorporate industry perspectives into teaching, research supervision, and student project development.
Research Interests
My research interests are centered on the practical application of computing technologies to complex real-world problems, particularly in the areas of:
My research and supervision activities emphasize the development of practical, data-driven, and computational solutions with measurable real-world impact. I also supervise undergraduate Final Year Projects, guiding students through problem identification, research methodology, system design, implementation, evaluation, and the development of industry-relevant solutions.
Industry-oriented initiatives, including the Dubai Islamic Bank Risk Analysis project and AI-OCR projects with 10Pearls, further support my research direction by connecting emerging computational methods with practical organizational and business requirements.
