I aspire to write. It has been a passion for long. Though opportunities have been limited, I still want to pursue writing. I want to learn and grow as I write. I was born and raised in Pakistan. Like most Pakistanis, I am bilingual, primary language being Urdu and secondary being English. I enjoy literature in both the languages. I can speak Chinese Mandarin too, but only for everyday conversation. By profession, I am a Computer Software Engineer/Scientist. I graduated with BS degree in 2004 and then received Masters degree in CS in 2007. Since then I have been a doctoral candidate (in Computer Science). My area of interest has been Computational Linguistics since 2002. I am fascinated by language patterns and sounds and phonological-morphological constructs of languages. Resume to be added soon.
