Experience

hSenid Mobile

hSenid was the first place I used to learn about the Software Engineering culture. It really is a great place to learn & improve yourself. My first project at hSenid was a Windows Mobile project. Then I worked on cool J2ME apps before working with iOS developments there.

Silk Outsourcing (Pvt.) Ltd

Software Engineer

2010 August - current

I have worked purely as an iPhone developer at Silk and worked with few projects during my little stay. Silk helped me to improve my skills and programing practices in Objective-C developments a lot.

Skills

Visual Basic, Java

I started my love with computing languages while playing with Visual Basic 6 during my school days. Once I joined university most of the projects I worked on were based on Jave in first year. Then I gradually moved into my most interesting area.

J2ME

All my love against mobile development started with a single project in university second year. It has been a group project and that required us to learn J2ME. This project has given few of us the opportunity to join hSenid as J2ME developers during my university period. At hSenid I worked on few really interesting J2ME mobile apps.

iPhone

I also started playing with Objective-C & Cocoa developments for iPhone during internship at hSenid. It has really changed me the way I thought what could really a mobile phone could do.
