About
I am currently pursuing an MS in Information Systems and Operations Management (ISOM) at the Warrington College of Business, University of Florida. With over eight years of professional experience, I bring both diversity and a strong professional background to my class as the sole representative from Pakistan.
My career spans five years in core project management within the aerospace industry, followed by three years in data analytics at Pakistan’s largest logistics startup, backed by prominent local and American VCs. This unique blend of experience allows me to bridge the gap between industry expertise and academic insights, fostering a dynamic learning environment.

Product Management- Graduate school interests
Much of my decision to pursue this degree stems from the three years I spent at Pakistan’s largest logistics startup, where my role focused on business expansion through data-driven insights. Our efforts led to the company’s successful growth, not just within Pakistan but internationally as well.
With a background in Mechanical Engineering, I always had a strong technical foundation, but I wanted to deepen my theoretical understanding of Information Systems and Operations Management to further refine my expertise in data-driven business expansion. This pursuit ultimately led me to the Warrington College of Business at the University of Florida.
