About Me
I'm a Software Engineer at Motive with a Computer Engineering background (BE, NUST–CEME, 2024, CGPA 3.66/4.0) and hands-on experience across embedded systems, FPGA development, and robotics. I'm driven by curiosity about how things work at a fundamental level — a curiosity that goes back to childhood tinkering with electronics — and I've spent years building projects that span from FPGA logic design up through backend web services.
My core interests are embedded systems, IoT, FPGA/ASIC design with HDL, computer architecture fundamentals, and increasingly, software architecture and system design.
I'm currently building professional experience in backend software engineering while working toward a long-term move back into embedded and hardware-focused engineering roles, ideally in Europe.
