How I got here, what I care about, and where I'm headed.
I'm a Computer Engineering student at Information Technology University, Lahore, and a software-first builder who's just as comfortable down at the metal. My work spans two things that don't usually sit in the same portfolio: AI-driven software — chatbots, voice automation, workflow systems — and embedded/computer-architecture engineering, from STM32 firmware to processor simulation in SimpleScalar and RISC-V pipeline design.
What connects the two is the same underlying instinct: I want to know what a system is actually doing, whether that's a cache miss or a webhook payload. I don't treat "software" and "hardware" as separate tracks — they're both just systems, and the discipline of debugging one sharpens the other. I'd rather be the engineer who can trace a race condition in an AI pipeline in the morning and a UART timing issue in the afternoon.
Going forward, I'm looking for software engineering, AI/automation engineering, or full-stack roles where I can keep shipping real systems — with my embedded and architecture background as a genuine differentiator, not the whole story.
Professionally, I spent from July 2025 to April 2026 at ByteForce IT Solutions as a Web & Automation Developer, where I designed and deployed conversational AI systems — chatbots handling customer support and order queries, AI voice/calling bots automating outbound and inbound calls, and n8n pipelines connecting websites, CRMs, and messaging platforms so businesses could stop doing repetitive work by hand. I also built and shipped WordPress and WooCommerce sites end-to-end, from theming to performance tuning.
