I build systems that solve problems.

I build systems that solve problems. In the past, I did this for early-stage startups, scaling operations, building teams, and turning strategy into reality.

Today, I help people navigate their careers and advise founders on making their next move. I've worked across education, edtech, and the startup ecosystem in Pakistan, always at the intersection of people and systems.

Through Kis Uni, I counselled over 300 high school students on university admissions.

When I'm not doing that, I'm probably talking about coffee, gaming, or the next big idea.

300+ careers launched
Through Career Launchpad, a program I co-founded and scaled

Career Coaching

I've helped 200+ graduates and undergraduates land jobs through structured career acceleration programs. The programs I designed achieved a 9.3/10 satisfaction rating and a 100% job placement rate. I work with individuals navigating career transitions, job searches, and professional growth.
