Systems engineer across Windows Server, Active Directory, Linux and RDP environments, with pfSense firewalls, MikroTik routing, VLANs, VPN tunnels, CCTV and tested backups — from rebuilding an industrial site's infrastructure to running multi-cloud and on-prem servers today.
I'm from Burewala, Punjab — and I started the way a lot of good IT people start: alone, with everything broken and nobody else to call.
IT runs in my family. My cousins and relatives work across the field — from IT management to cyber security — and we have our own computer college, where I studied computer courses that gave me a strong base in IT.
In March 2023 I became the only IT person for an entire industrial site at Fine Packages in Lahore. Network, servers, cameras, ERP, emails, procurement — if it had a cable or a login, it was mine. I redesigned that infrastructure from the ground up.
From there I moved to The Hexaa, a software house and gaming studio, where I led AI automation and deployments alongside core IT.
In October 2025 I joined Terafort, a gaming and mobile apps studio — and five months later I was promoted to Senior IT Executive & DevOps Engineer.
Today I head the whole IT department: cloud, DevOps and IT operations for 200+ users, 100+ developers on my self-hosted GitLab, and analytics for 200+ apps and games.
Alongside, I consult on networks for Winterland Pakistan, and I'm completing my BBIT at Virtual University of Pakistan (final semester).
