خلاصہ

I am a skilled technical consultant and project manager with a strong educational background, holding dual master's degrees in Computer Science (MCS) and Business Administration (MBA) specializing in Project Management. I recently completed my MS in Governance & Public Policy coursework from IMSciences Peshawar in 2024. Currently, engaged in research focusing on digital governance and public administration. With over 18 years of experience, I have dedicated my career to managing projects and initiatives related to digital transformation, e-governance, and rights-based public service delivery, specifically concentrating on revenue generation, communication strategies, knowledge management, and development cooperation.


I have extensive experience in analyzing public sector development problems and devising cost-effective solutions that meet project constraints. My ability to navigate complex challenges and build strong stakeholder relationships is evidenced by successful collaborations with various government departments on matters of organizational development, digital transformation, and citizen engagement. This expertise extends beyond policy formulation to cover the development of exceptional policies, implementing digital transformation projects (SLAs, SOPs), and managing procurement (RFQs, RFPs). Furthermore, I add value by establishing ICT labs, project monitoring systems & websites. My skills in logistics, procurement and event management complement this comprehensive expertise.
