Education
 
GRADUATION - UNIVERSITY DEGREE
I earned my degree in Chemical Engineering from the University of Engineering & Technology, Lahore, Pakistan, graduating in 2005 with distinction, securing an A Grade and achieving an impressive overall score of 74.34%. Throughout the four-year program, I actively engaged in several impactful study projects, each contributing to my comprehensive understanding of the field. Some notable project titles include:
  - Optimization of Process Plant; supervised by Prof. Dr. A.K. Salariya
  - Conceptual Design Of Combined Cycle Power Plant; supervised by Prof. Shah Muhammad
  - Production Of Mixed Xylynes From C9+ Aromatics
This project was started because of a special process described in an ExxonMobil patent. We wanted to understand how the ExxonMobil TransPlus process works, including how it`s introduced, the steps involved, how we choose things, and how we design important equipment like the Fractionator, Heat Exchangers, Fired Heater, Gas-Solid Catalytic Reactor, and Liquid-Gas Separation Units.
The process is complicated because it has more than 20 parts. We had to be very careful with how we balanced materials and energy to design it properly. To help with this, we used computer tools like MATLAB, as well as MS Excel and VBA.
My job involved designing heat exchangers, figuring out mixtures using special numbers, using this in the design of the distillation column (Fractionator), two-phase separators, and simulating heat exchangers. I did all the calculations myself using Excel-VBA to make things easier and try different ideas. I also helped with making sure the plant balanced heat and mass properly, came up with ways to control the process, estimated costs, and made sure we followed environmental rules.
This project was mainly about learning more about chemical engineering. The report and software we made might have some mistakes because this was our first time trying something like this. Here are some of the calculations we came up with for this project.
  - Flash Calculator
  - Bubble Point & Dew Point Calculator
  - Shell & Tube Heat Exchanger Calculator
  - Fractionator [Distillation Column] Calculator

HIGHER SCHOOL DEGREE
I earned my high school degree with a major in pre-engineering, achieving an aggregate score of 77.63%. During high school, I had the privilege to participate in the National Physics Talent Contest (NPTC) and was selected among the top students in Pakistan in the year 2000. This competition provided a platform for engaging in a week-long series of physics-based activities, research endeavors, and discussions facilitated by Pakistan`s esteemed physicist, Mr. Pervaiz Hoodbhoy, at the renowned facilities of Pakistan Institute of Engineering and Applied Sciences (PIEAS). This immersive experience not only broadened my understanding of physics but also allowed me to interact with and learn from one of the country`s most distinguished physicists.

Extracurricular
 
Embracing the more whimsical facets of my personality, let`s delve into the realm I hold dear - my extracurricular activities and hobbies.

Football, a sport I adore not merely as a spectator but for the sheer joy of active participation, has been a constant companion throughout my high school days. Transitioning to university, my enthusiasm found expression in the Dramatic Society, where I contributed to elevating the artistic vibrancy of our community. The crowning achievements were three accolades at the Rafi Peer Youth Theatre Festival, clinching top honors in best lighting, best set concept, and best production categories out of 18 total, among 24 university entries.



In the digital domain, my fervor for computers unfolds as a passionate exploration of their inner workings. Along this journey, I`ve acquired proficiency in several programming languages, crafting practical tools that streamline my workflows - from Excel sheets for shell & tube exchanger simulations to software facilitating steam/gas turbine performance evaluations.

I conceptualized and built thepetrostreet.com, a professional technical discussion forum tailored for engineers, in collaboration with close friends. Actively managed from 2011 to 2018, the platform unfortunately had to be discontinued due to resource constraints. Additionally, I created specialized software tools, such as TurboMart (for efficiency calculations of steam and gas turbines), KOD Mart (Knockout Drum basic sizing and evaluation), PsychroShop (Air properties calculator) and Steam Properties Excel Addin, among others.

Collaborating with like-minded friends, I co-founded a startup called Engineering Pulse, leading the design and development of its website and creating a commercial software, named WeldPulse, sadly wrapped up after a few years.

I am currently immersed in the design and development of engOneer, an innovative online portal featuring specialized calculation modules. This platform aims to streamline engineering calculations, providing efficient tools for tasks such as turbine performance evaluations, as well as detailed profiling of typical Steam Methane reforming and shift reactions. Stay tuned for a seamless and comprehensive solution to your engineering analysis needs!

As a perpetual student of nature and science, my leisure moments are dedicated to unraveling the mysteries that captivate me. To bolster my inquisitive pursuits, I`ve constructed ScienceOfSigns.com, a web portal that, in tandem with platforms like quran.com, nasa.gov, esa.int and other science based information satiates my hunger for knowledge and exploration of nature`s wonders.

Timeless memories shared with friends
