- 4. Page No. 2 INTRODUCTION AdnanUrooj View Portfolio What I Do? As is often asserted, entering the Stone Age is no di ff erent from entering the Information Age; those who get the best tools will survive. I aspire to become a computer specialist who commands advanced technological tools in this modern world. I believe this is a realistic aspiration because my formal education, research achievements and work experience have fully prepared me to develop into the kind of person that I aspire to be. For the foreseeable future, the best course of action for realizing my aspiration is to seek a more advanced research whereby to bring myself closer to the technology summits of the world and to my career objective – a leading software engineer in computer technology. Recently, I have fi nished my full-time contract in London, where my major responsibilities were to discuss new features in Evolok with key stakeholders and implement on both web and mobile platforms in the agile environment. Furthermore, I worked on some of the freelance projects in the past few months. In addition, I have also been connected with other training and course activities. After successfully fi nished these training programs, I received the statement of accomplishment with either good remarks or distinction. In 2012, I have done my masters in “MSc. Advanced Methods in Computer Science” from Queen Mary University of London with substantial academic achievements. During the academic year, I became the member of many societies and was also selected for training at Thomson Reuters to understand the market niche and daily business requirements. I have been working in the IT industry for almost 10 years on many di ff erent technology platforms with primary focus in iOS, Android and Java development. In the mobile arena, I have worked on many di ff erent types of apps such as social networking, geo-location, messaging/chat, advertisement sales, news feeds, social media, local events and venues. During my tenure, I have been repeatedly recognized for developing innovative solutions for the companies in di ff erent roles, globally deployed software and systems. I am responsible for full life-cycle development of next-generation softwares in the agile environment, from initial requirement gathering to design, coding, testing, documentation and implementation. I am an expert in designing, implementing the robust mobile solutions for thin clients, n-tier architecture web applications, worked on ERP/CMS based applications and knowledge of many open source frameworks. However, I am also associated with my own four technical LinkedIn groups on mobile application & game development (MAG) and also developed solutions in the open-source community. The only way to do great work is to love what you do. - Steve Jobs “ To work in a competitive environment that e ff ectively utilise my technical, analytical, interpersonal, leadership and organisation skills to conceive and achieve solutions at breathtaking speed.
