Professional Experience – Career Journey
Early Desktop Development & Automation
2000 – 2015

Designed and implemented multiple business-critical desktop and automation systems, defining architecture, data models, and long-term maintainability strategies.

Key areas of work:
Utility tools (clipboard monitoring, file protection, task automation)
Educational tools (MCQs systems, math visualizations, signal simulations)
Business tools (clinic apps, school management, bookkeeping software)
Marketing automation (article spinners, link harvesters, proxy tools)
Custom development tools (code generators, script parsers)
Migration to VB.NET & Python Advanced Automation
2015 – 2020

As technology evolved, I migrated legacy VB6 systems to VB.NET, improving performance and maintainability. I also learned Python specifically for automation, scripting, and data processing.

During this period, I expanded into:
Unicode and language processing tools (Arabic & Urdu)
Automation scripts (PTC platforms, repetitive workflow execution)
Web Scraping & Data Extraction (Downloading complete websites, Scraping data from websites & data cleanup)
Early Visa Appointment Scripts (Detect & choose early visa appointment slots)
AI-Assisted Automation (Urdu OCR, speech-to-text and basic chatbot using pre-trained AI models)

Python became my tool of choice for rapid automation, especially when speed and flexibility mattered more than UI.
