WORK EXPERIENCE

15/03/2023 – 15/06/2023 Lahore, Pakistan

During my internship at Chulalongkorn University, Thailand. I served as the project leader in which our teams focus was on
creating a highly detailed 3D digital twin of an educational institute using Blender, Fusion, and Unity. This project required
precise modeling, attention to architectural accuracy, and extensive collaboration with international teams. I was responsible
for coordinating workflows, optimizing 3D assets, and integrating interactive elements to enhance the realism of the virtual
environment. The success of this project earned first place in the Final Year Project Exhibition at the University of Central
Punjab, Pakistan and runner-up at the Engineering Capstone Expo (Pakistan Engineering Council).
• Skills Used: 3D Modeling, Digital Twin Development, Unity Engine, Team Collaboration, Project Coordination, XR &
Metaverse Innovation

01/09/2020 – 01/12/2020 Lahore, Pakistan

At Panasonic, I gained hands-on experience in hardware testing and circuit validation for consumer electronics. I assisted in
debugging circuit boards, measuring electrical parameters using multimeters and oscilloscopes, and collaborating with senior
engineers to improve product quality control procedures. I assisted in functional and stress testing on electronic
components to ensure durability and compliance with reliability standards. Additionally, I gained insights into surveillance
system design and network infrastructure for commercial buildings.
