Hi there!
A Bit About Me
I am a software engineer with over 14 years of experience building tech products, programs, and teams. I am a serial founder with initiatives focusing on women’s economic inclusion and improving gender parity in tech. I have won multiple community leadership awards; I founded WomenInTechPK and cofounded CodeGirls, and CaterpillHERs. I am also a country ambassador for CryptoChicks.
I am an Expert-Vetted (Top 1%) Product and Program Consultant on Upwork and have been featured in multiple campaigns by Upwork. I also contributed to P@SHA’s Diversity and Inclusion Committee to improve gender parity in Pakistan’s tech ecosystem. I am an IVLP fellow and a graduate of the Women’s Leadership Academy - Aga Khan University.
I excel in product management, curriculum development, DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion), program management, strategic planning, operational management, and financial oversight. I am skilled in strategic outreach and partnership development, securing crucial support for my initiatives.
I am a raging introvert, a reader, a writer, and a regular speaker at international conferences related to Technology, Upskilling, DEI, and Community Building.
