About Me

They call me a nomad - I've grown up traveling the world and have lived in about 4 countries. Born and raised in Pakistan, but most of my higher education and career have taken place in both Canada and the United States.

My Background

For my undergraduate degree, I attended at the University of Southern California "Go Trojans", where I double majored in Interaction and Game Design, as well as Psychology. Somewhere along the way, I discovered usability testing and fell in love with validating & improving digital experiences by putting them in front of actual users. From here, I transitioned into UX/UI Design and the rest is history.

Nevertheless, My background has absolutely informed how I design & strategize, in regards to software development - I like to build products that are interactive, delightful, data-driven, and human-centered (with a dash of delight to engage).

Who I am

I'm fun-loving, optimistic, growth-oriented, and an extremely empathetic person. All the aforementioned qualities most definitely show in how I operate and work.

😊 I always strive to foster a positive environment wherever I work as being happy has tons of health and productivity benefits (especially during stressful times)

🫂 I'm incredibly passionate about mentorship, as I believe it is a strong leadership quality to constantly grow oneself and the people around you - for a better future.

😎 I keep a steady head in the face of adversity, as every challenge is a huge learning experience that people can grow from (if they react to it properly).

💙 I'm extremely empathetic, not only towards the users that I build products for, but also the businesses and teams I work with, as it is crucial to learn all you can about the personalities, constraints, and capabilities of the people you work with.

When I'm not working…

I like to spend time with my loved ones, making memories. Moreover, I'm a big fan of traveling, food (especially sushi, spaghetti, and In&Out Burger), comic books, video games, anime, & meaningful movies/tv.
