About me
Helping ventures develop and deliver to market physical as well as digital deep technology products including AR, VR as well as AIoT where financial integrations to accelerate them through JazzCash Integrations in an agile way is a normal part of business.
Currently a Tech Advisor to multiple businesses that are operating locally as well as globally. Apart from this, I am also working as a consultant with various emerging FinTech companies that are in the prototyping phase of their digital transformation.
With this diverse experience strongly built upon the verticals that include but are not limited to Telecom , edTech, Climate, Agriculture , Travel, Social and Construction tech industries, I hold a gold medal with a master's degree in engineering management. The hands-on experience of working as a telecom engineer coupled with six sigma specialization is well rounded by an experience in managing systems and processes of over 500+ member commercial teams.
My passion in technology has further led me to develop more than 10 end-to-end iOS and android products using Google's cloud technology where API management was fundamental. This breadth and depth of tech knowledge can nourish businesses at different levels of their technology product lifecycle. Overall, I have 12+ years of experience working in multinationals including Telenor, Jazz & LCC as well as with startups based in California and India. Internationally I am working as a Tech Mentor with the Cherie Blair Foundation for Women in Business and have been consulting as a Tech Advisor for Guidepoint Global since Jan 2019.
Apart from this, I am also a CEO and founder of TechStartpk, where I help small businesses learn how to integrate tech in their business to grow and scale effectively.
Every few months, I like to share my learnings on medium. If you would like to get insights on technology, startups and user experience - my free educational content available on medium (@ mssyed )
Having said all this, my ambition to provide consultancy through Udemy revolves mostly around the fact that there comes a time in one's life when you want to contribute to the community and help people solve bigger problems of the world.
