About

With a background in electrical engineering and extensive experience as the Manager of Grid System Maintenance and Protection at K-electric Ltd., I bring a wealth of expertise to my role. Holding a Bachelor of Engineering from NUST and a MBA from IBA Karachi, I've honed both technical proficiency and business acumen. This combination allows me to effectively oversee critical aspects of electrical grid management while also understanding the strategic implications for our organization. I worked as an associate team member at university based Formula Electric Car Team which represented Pakistan at Formula Student Competition held in Germany in July this year. My experience with Formula Electric Car Team has developed in me an aptitude for teamwork, collaboration, presentation and problem solving. The same qualities I had nurtured during the course of development of my final year project titled ‘Design, Fabrication and performance Analysis of Cascaded Multilevel Inverter using renewable energy sources’. Furthermore, it is worth mentioning that I have successfully published and presented a research paper titled ‘Harnessing of Electric Power through Multiple Renewable Sources using Cascaded Multi Level Inverter for Power Optimization’ at 4th International Multi-topic conference at MUET Jamshoro. As renewable hybrid power systems is nowadays the focus of research in developing countries and several solar parks and wind mill farms are being established to overcome the need of electrical energy therefore I selected this project and learned a lot regarding the designing of wind turbines and solar panels. Moreover for high power applications, simple 2-level conventional inverters cannot be employed because of limited Power and voltage of the available Power semiconductor switches and therefore special type of multilevel inverters are used which converts DC to AC with an output wave similar to sine wave. . Apart from a technical outlook, I have studied sociology in A levels during which I attained consistent good remarks in class discussions and on writing argumentative essays. Based on my learning experiences I believe I am capable of delivering according to the specified job profile.
