Software Engineer
I'm a Software Engineer at Motive, building backend systems and APIs. I also have a Computer Engineering background and a continued interest in embedded systems and hardware, the curiosity that got me into engineering in the first place.
// about
A software engineer, curious about the hardware underneath
I'm a Software Engineer at Motive with a Computer Engineering background (BE, NUST–CEME, 2024) and hands-on experience across embedded systems, FPGA development, and robotics. That curiosity goes back to childhood tinkering with electronics, and it's shaped years of projects spanning FPGA logic design up through backend web services.
My focus today is backend and software systems, building on a Computer Engineering background that still shapes how I approach problems. Embedded systems, IoT, and computer architecture remain a strong personal interest alongside that.
