Code from scratch & bring ideas to life! I love programming especially when it's in Java because this is how I spent around 18 years of my professional life in software industry. I also love hiking and fortunately born and grew up in Pakistan, home to 5 peaks above 8,000 meters and 108 peaks above 7,000 meters so got lot of opportunities to see high mountains.Currently, I'm working as a senior Java Architect and here's a breakdown of some of the top responsibilities assigned to me:- Taking the lead in software development design- Defining the architecture and design principles and needs to create the project’s technical guides- Analyzing the technical needs of the project to determine which tools, technologies, and standards are the most suitable- Ensuring that the process complies with the chosen architecture- Breaking down the project into smaller parts- Ensuring that the right products are created by communicating their needs to the team- Ensuring that the product is scalable future changes and other updatesI educate, refine and drive myself to be a better person- I am constantly learning because I never settle- I stay calm when faced with adversity- I focus on making high-quality decisionsI enjoy meeting new people and hearing new perspectives.
