 My name’s Khan, Shahbaz Khan (😎) and I am an Electronic and Electrical Engineer by education but I also have some Software related experience under my belt. I hold a B.Eng. in Electronic and Electrical Engineering from the University of Leeds U.K (First Class Honours) and overall I have about 4+ years of work experience. I have worked in various organisations that include Masternaut, USAID (placement in Peshawar Electric Supply Company – PESCO), Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS) and Afiniti.

 I consider myself as a jack of all trades. A versatile and well-rounded person with an International exposure. Eager to learn new things and solve problems. Extremely goal-oriented with a deep and disciplined personality. Struggled a lot in life and learned many lessons. Passionate about Science, Engineering as well as Social and Political topics.  

 I am a conscientious, helpful and an open-minded person. I have excellent communication skills. I am fluent in English, Urdu and Pashto languages and hold a valid UK Drivers licence. When I was younger, I lived with and cared for my late grandmother which had a great influence on me as a person. I also managed my study abroad in the UK and also built a house which was a great learning experience not only in construction but also in design, project management, communication skills, conflict resolution and problem solving. Other than this, I have worked on many small scale projects (hardware as well as software) and completed various MOOCs as mentioned on my CV, please check the CV and Projects pages for more details.
