I was born on 1 March 1999 in Lahore, Pakistan. From an early age, I developed a keen interest in science and technology, particularly in physics and how it connects to real-world applications.
My academic journey began at Govt. Islamia College Civil Lines, where I completed my Intermediate studies (Aug 2014 – Sep 2016) with a focus on pre-engineering subjects. I then pursued my Bachelor of Science in Physics at the University of the Punjab (Oct 2016 – Sep 2020), where I built a strong foundation in theoretical and experimental physics. During my BS, I completed a notable project on Electric Field and Voltage Analysis of Copper Sheet using ANSYS Electric, gaining experience in finite element analysis and computational simulation.
Professionally, I entered the education sector in October 2020 as a Physics Teacher at Rakan Group of Schools, where I designed interactive lessons, conducted experiments, and provided individual mentorship to improve students' understanding of physics. In June 2021, I advanced to Lecturer of Physics at Superior Group of Colleges (Punjab Group), where I taught over 200 students annually, redesigned laboratory activities, and updated curriculum content to align with modern engineering trends, significantly improving students' academic performance and examination results.
In July 2024, I transitioned into the technology and industry sector by joining Daira Engineering Pvt. Ltd. as an Optical Engineer. In this role, I design and optimize AR/VR optical systems using Ansys Optics tools such as Zemax OpticStudio, Lumerical, and Speos. My responsibilities include optical design, tolerance analysis, waveguide development, and multidisciplinary collaboration for smart glasses and advanced consumer electronics. I also conduct research on optical materials and coatings to enhance system performance and manufacturability.
In October 2025, I joined Inphoenixaviation Engineering Solution in Islamabad as an Optical Engineer, specializing in advanced electro-optical and infrared imaging systems.
As part of my work on FPV Drone Camera Designs, I design and optimize visible and LWIR (EO/IR) zoom lens systems using Zemax OpticStudio, taking projects from concept development to final validation. My responsibilities include ray tracing, optical optimization, tolerance analysis, material selection, and collaboration with cross-functional engineering teams to integrate optical systems into prototype and production-ready platforms. I also perform Detection, Recognition, and Identification (DRI) range analysis for visible and thermal imaging systems to evaluate operational performance.
In addition, I contribute to the development of Laser Seeker and Infrared Systems, where I design and optimize laser seeker optics for precision-guided applications. My work involves detailed optical modeling, ray tracing, tolerance analysis, and material selection to ensure high-performance operation under demanding environmental and operational constraints. I collaborate closely with electronics, mechanical, and systems engineering teams to deliver robust optical solutions suitable for deployment in advanced aerospace and defense-related applications.
Over the years, I have developed strong technical expertise in optical design and simulation software, including Zemax OpticStudio, Lumerical, Speos, and ANSYS Workbench. I also possess working knowledge of Python programming, PTC Creo Parametric CAD design, and digital productivity tools such as Microsoft Office, VS Code, and Code::Blocks.
I am fluent in Urdu and Punjabi, and proficient in English, with strong listening, reading, speaking, and professional communication skills.
My combined experience in teaching, research, and industry-level optical engineering enables me to bridge the gap between academic concepts and real-world technological applications. Whether developing next-generation AR/VR systems, EO/IR imaging solutions, FPV drone cameras, or laser seeker optics, I remain passionate about applying physics to solve practical engineering challenges while continuing to contribute to innovation in advanced optical technologies.
