About

I'm Zarar, a senior software engineer from Lahore. My background is enterprise integration: APIs, data flows and back-office systems for leasing and banking platforms used by a Swedish bank and large automotive and equipment brands.

I'm doing my MS in Computer Science at Georgia Tech, after a BS from Virtual University of Pakistan where I graduated with distinction and placed second in my class. On every project I keep the scope clear, send regular updates, and write code someone else can maintain.
