πŸš€ My Last few Year Struggle, Side Hustle and Community Contribution Since October 2016 to August 2021!

I started, by taking participation as a GRAPHIC DESGNER, in IEEE GCU BRANCH LAHORE right while starting my Bachelor’s degree started. πŸ‘Ύ

2. My First Internship was in UI/UX back 2018 for almost 3 (three) months.

⏱️ At that time, I got the Internship in CureMD for three months but at that time I don’t have an IDEA that CUREMD is one of the Great environment for someone work for. I rather JOIN a Game Studio which was closed unfortunately right after my internship.

πŸ’‘ I learned a lesson never go what seems right and good. Take RISK and give yourself a second chance. Than I Joined a Local Startup called HERSTELLAR as content strategist, which is KIND of internship where I get a chance to work in startup culture and to get to know what is happening in startup world.

3. First time, then I represented Government College University (GCU), Lahore at International Level and Selected as a CAMPUS AMBASSADOR Hultprize from GCU, LAHORE 🎌

4. After spending first & second year of my University along with developing my dev, communication & networking skills I have secured first Internship as WEB Engineer at VU Solutions Pvt. Ltd πŸ˜ƒ

5. After brushing my Dev skills in 6 Months I got my first paid Internship as Software Engineer Intern during my last year of Bachelor’s degree. πŸ’ͺ

6. In all of this during time , I have worked along with @hultprize @herstellar @IEEEGCU @dotlinks @techtology1 @DSCGCULAHORE @plan9incubator as a volunteer & representative.⭐

7. Few Organizations, I feel proud and much grateful to be the part of are @TheNestiO @airschoolonline @StacksPakistan @MLSALahore @dotnetfdn @TedxGCULahore @Plan9incubator @arfakarimfndn & one and only Microsoft Learn Student Ambassador Community. πŸ”₯

8. These organizations made me who I am today. Co- Leading a community of 3000+ students, professionals and tech enthusiastic. Also Leading my own communities where I market, scale and build the local talent of PAKISTAN πŸŽ–οΈ

9. Also our communities partnered with @COLABSPK @deveningsGlobal @StacksPakistan & @devsinc, in this whole process of redefining the meaning of community work we have done in last few years!

10. The whole journey of 5 years is worth to experience for. I am super excited of what lies ahead β€” The most Important part is the Supportive Community I got for this after hustling is quite grateful! πŸŽ‰

11. I worked with @BitsClan for 6 moths as a Junior Web Engineer after my degree completion. πŸ”₯

11. I graduated in Oct 2020, I have worked as a Software Engineer @Enghouse Interactive in their R&D Department.

12. Now I am working as a Software Engineer Development β€” I in @Calrom Uk Base Company.
