Let you know, Now I am at position under middle management category of IT industry “Project Coordinator”, but story behind this success is not only a luck. I started my career from sketch, I have done website designing certification in my school days and i have great passions about designs and illustrations. I started my career as basic content designer and now i am in the project management field and its not end i have to be in the desk of project director or MIS.

So i started my career as part time website designer from WedAlert.com with salary of 10K per month. Then due to studies i left wedalert and joined back my university, during 2nd year of my graduation i got chance to work with Hauka as senior website designer with the salary of 8k. In the time between leaving wedalert and joining hauka, i got lot of freelance projects which improved my skills lot. Well in some 2 months i got increment of 5k in my salary so i was working for hauka in 13k per month. Call Center was a major business area of Hauka and they shut hauka down in January 2006 due to the continuously bad performance of sales team. So i was again on my freelance track but within 1 month i got a call from 110 Solutions and they offered me to join as Senior graphics designer, I accepted that offer and started working with the salary of 15K per month.

I can proudly 110 Solutions was a organization which discover me and my abilities in the IT industry
specially in designing and management. Because my education was completely specialized in Business
analysis and Information systems so i also had ability to work as project leader or system analyst. Anyways 110 solutions promote me as system analyst for their website project and in few months they gave me opportunity to lead complete projects at the Karachi campus so i was project leader when i left 110 Solutions in April 2008.

Yes in May 2008, i got great opportunity to work with Pakistan’s leading stationery organization as Project Coordinator. First time i faced proper hiring process in this job, but i think my interview was great and so impressive for my employer and they hired me within 1 week. On 1st April 2008, i had to say Bye Bye to 110 Solutions. Now I am working with Dollar Stationery as project coordinator, and here i really improved my project management skills and because of one project i learned php and i am so impress with php. I am still doing freelance website designing but now I am providing complete database driven websites to my clients.

Anyways my future plan is Dubai, I have some calls from DXB in January 2009 and i may visit to Dubai in next year and then i compare what is best for me. Just watch and play situation i have right now. But its really great pleasure in my career history. I really learned lot of new things such as php, blogging on word press and many more things. Hope you like my brief history. :-)
