About

I am an electrical and electronics engineer with experience in network design and research, currently working as a Network Design Engineer at Huawei Global Service Center Pakistan. My career spans from my undergraduate studies starting in 2020 through to my current role in 2025, focusing on 5G network rollout and intelligent network research. My work involves executing end-to-end 5G site design and planning for international telecom operators such as U Mobile and Ooredoo, preparing detailed Technical Site Survey Reports, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to ensure network performance and deployment. I have also conducted research in Software-Defined Networking and AI-driven Wi-Fi networks, publishing in IEEE Xplore and presenting at multiple conferences. My technical skills include 5G, SDN, Wi-Fi, cybersecurity, front-end development with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and network optimization.

Experience

Network Design Engineer
