About

Organizations sitting on mountains of data but making decisions based on gut instinct ... that's where I come in. I'm a Data & AI professional with 6+ years building intelligence systems across Pakistan's most complex environments: national energy utilities, government customs and tax administration, national logistics, and growth-stage marketing firms. From 1TB+ of monthly real estate data to multi-province gas distribution networks spanning 29 Points of Delivery and 130+ Sales Meter Stations ... I've built the systems that turn operational noise into executive clarity. My approach combines deep technical execution with strategic thinking. I architect end-to-end data ecosystems — ETL pipelines, data governance frameworks, predictive models (Python · TensorFlow · Databricks), and executive-grade Power BI dashboards. At Pakistan Customs (FBR), I designed real-time dashboards tracking Goods Declaration values, Green/Grey Channel movements, and cross-agency revenue streams, enabling authorities to act on live intelligence instead of lag-laden spreadsheets. At SSGC, I automated reporting cycles that previously consumed 15–20 hours monthly, while simultaneously improving data accuracy by 35% across billing department. The numbers tell part of the story: 20+ Power BI dashboards deployed enterprise-wide, a 25% revenue increase identified post-policy at Pakistan Customs, 35% data quality improvement at SSGC, and a 20% lift in marketing campaign efficiency at GreyWalls. But the real metric is this ... leadership teams that finally trust their data and make faster, better decisions because of it. Completed an MS in Data Science at SZABIST while expanding into ML, AI-powered analytics, and predictive modeling with TensorFlow and Databricks. I'm seeking a Head of Data & AI or Director-level role where I can build and lead the data function ... architecting the strategy, growing the team, and delivering intelligence that moves the business forward. 📩 Open to opportunities in Tech/SaaS · Financial Services · FMCG · Healthcare · Government Digitization 🔧 Stack: Power BI · Python · SQL · Databricks · TensorFlow · DAX · Power Query · ETL · Azure Data Services
