CHAPTER 02 / A NEW BEGINNING

A new country.
A wider horizon.

In 2012, my journey brought me from Pakistan to Seattle. A new setting, a fresh chapter, and a future taking shape in technology.

Starting again.
Moving forward.

Seattle became the setting for a new beginning in America. The Pacific Northwest was also the setting for the next professional chapter: a start in technology at AT&T in Redmond.

The career journey continued into enterprise identity, access management, cloud technology, and cybersecurity, including a chapter at Microsoft.

From those beginnings, the story expanded across sectors and toward entrepreneurship. Today, Massachusetts is home, while the connection to Pakistan remains part of the story.

The meaning of a new beginning

A journey across borders is more than a change of place. It creates a different view of opportunity—and of the systems that help people move, work, and build.

That perspective now connects the technology work to broader interests in AI, renewable energy, and global mobility.
