Senior Product Manager, SYMAN (formerly Identified)
Workday

Former Co-Editor-in-Chief
Ambidextrous Magazine

I enjoy designing and creating products that allow people to collaborate freely and creatively, impact the world in a positive way, and remain in-touch with the ever-changing world around them.

You will normally find me discussing data-driven technologies that help those in need, brainstorming how to battle inequality in the Bay Area and beyond, or describing my latest mural/sidewalk art discovery in San Francisco.

I am fervently proud of my Pakistani and Kashmiri heritage. Though I enjoy living in the Bay Area, I remain a Portlander at heart (ask me about my list of favorite places in PDX before your next trip there!).
