CAREER OBJECTIVE:
To work in an environment that would make the best use of my technical knowledge, communication skills and
help me groom my technical skills and managerial qualities .

EDUCATION:
2005 – 2009 NUST School of Electrial Engineering and Computer Science (SEECS)
B.S. in Information and Communication System Engineering (BICSE). CGPA : 3.33
2003 – 2005 Military College Jhelum (MCJ) HSSC Grade : A
2001 – 2003 Army Public School, Peshawar Cantt SSC Grade : A+

FINAL YEAR PROJECT: Design and Development of Automatic Frequency Planning Tool

The project encompasses the design of a novel and ingenious algorithm for automatic generation and optimization of
the frequency plan whereby curtailing the intra-system interference levels within the acceptable ranges of the key
performance indicators (KPIs) defined for any real time cellular network. The automatic frequency planning and
optimization has been done using the concept of Inter-Cell Dependency Matrix (ICDM) which contains cell correlations
in terms of the affect one cell has on the other primarily with regards to the co-channel interference. The proposed
algorithm and tool have been set forth and tested using inputs from live network data. It has been found to satisfy the
verifiable network performance metrics.

The project has been done in collaboration with a team of RF engineers from Warid Telecom(Pvt) Limited,Pakistan.

Industrial verification of the produced results has been done by TEMS(Test Equipment for Mobile Systems) Cell
Planner
