An adaptive flashcard & learning system
Java / Swing / JUnit / Clean Architecture / Git & CI
I led a team of six building a multi-module desktop learning application with Clean Architecture and SOLID principles.

A streetwear brand, from storefront to pop-up
Shopify / HTML / CSS / JavaScript / E-commerce
I co-founded Celura with a three-person team and built our responsive Shopify storefront, including reusable product templates, collection pages, navigation, and mobile purchasing flows.

I enjoy the work around the work: leading teams, building partnerships, and making a good idea happen.
Google Developer Groups · University of Toronto
Recruited and lead a 15-member executive team across engineering, marketing, sponsorship, and event operations. I direct a year-round program of hackathons, workshops, industry nights, and career events, including DevFest and Hack Canada.
My partnership work connects sponsors, speakers, venues, and co-hosts across technology, banking, consulting, and Canada’s hackathon community.
UofT AI · University of Toronto

Building the storefront and helping run the business behind a growing streetwear label. An ongoing lesson in connecting software, customer experience, and commercial decisions.

During a six-week internship, I developed SQL queries that automated manufacturing reporting and surfaced production KPIs through ERP dashboards. I worked alongside engineering teams to analyze robotics, machine-learning quality control, and industrial automation workflows.

Published newsletters on AI ethics, learning opportunities, and careers, and supported workshops, technical projects, and community outreach.
Sep 2023–Aug 2024

03 / A little context
I study computer science and economics because I want to understand both how systems are built and why people use them.
I’m Pakistani, grew up in Saudi Arabia, and now call Toronto home. My interests span secure infrastructure, financial technology, and software that makes everyday work easier.
Alongside school, I help lead two student organizations and co-run a streetwear business. Those experiences have taught me to move between technical details, people, and practical business decisions.
Away from a screen: the gym, chess, personal investing, and FC Barcelona.
