Electronics-focused Physics graduate with over one year of hands-on experience developing embedded systems and IoT solutions through a government-funded HEC Sindh Research Scientific Program (SRSP) and Final Year Project. Contributed to the complete hardware development lifecycle by designing custom PCBs, developing firmware using STM32 and Arduino MKR WAN 1310, integrating environmental sensors, implementing LoRaWAN communication, and deploying a campus-wide air quality monitoring network at NED University. The project progressed from research and field validation to a journal manuscript submitted for peer review.
