Awais Ahmed

My name is Awais Ahmed. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science (BCS), along with diplomas in DBA Oracle, Hardware, and Networking.

I began my professional journey in 2000 as a Lab Instructor at IMIT Karachi. In 2002, I joined Indus Institute (now Indus University), where I worked as a Hardware and Network Assistant. Alongside, I also taught programming languages such as C++, Java, and SQL to 9th, 10th, and BCS-level students.

In 2007, I was promoted to Administrator and Database Manager, a role I proudly served until 2014.

In 2015, I joined AOS Limited, a software house, as an SQA (Software Quality Assurance) Engineer. One of my key projects there was the LDA Land Recording and Processing Application, which is still actively used by the Lahore Development Authority.

In 2020, I joined Karma Software Solutions as an Analyst and QA Manager. Due to my performance and loyalty, I was entrusted with additional responsibilities, including Office Administration and Network Management. Unfortunately, due to organizational downsizing, I was released from Karma in 2024.
