About Me

Well I have finally graduated from UCSB with a Masters in Computer Science, and am now working in the Silicon Vally with Cisco Systems. I guess all that effort at UCSB did pay off. I had a great time at UCSB and I miss school and especially Santa Barbara as it was a wonderful place, so to all of the students out there, I just want to say that UCSB is great! So enjoy it while it lasts!

Before coming to UCSB I had obtained a Bachelors degree from Lahore University of Management and Sciences in May 1997. I had been in beautiful Santa Barbara for 15 months and its a great place, check it out for yourself

My Life

I was born in Lahore, Pakistan on March 1st, 1976. Have two of the world's greatest parents, and I owe them a lot for where I am at this point in life, I couldn't have done it without their support. Thanks Ammi and Abu. I got my early education from Crescent Model School, and did my Senior Cambride from there. Made some of the best friends I've had over there, Nasir, Darshan and Fahad come to mind. One of the best times of my life, seriously, explored all the stuff together, and had so much fun together.

LUMS was an experience of a lifetime, it is supposed to be one of the toughest school to get into and the first year was spent celebrating my admission. LUMS sure was tough, but I enjoyed it! Made some really good friends there, here is just a small list: OC,
Hamid, Sally, Noman, Rahila, Haqqi, Yasser, Jan ..... Was a thoroughly enjoyable experience and got to know the true meaning of Life Under Massive Stress (LUMS). Had some of the most memorable cricket matches, dance parties and what not!! I still miss it!

In UCSB I am so lucky to have Hamid and Sally with me, I don't know what I would have done without you guys, thanks for all your support. Eric and Vijay are also my good pals.
