INITIATIVES
I founded the Pakistan Architecture and Infrastructure Relief Program to support communities affected by infrastructure failure, disaster, and humanitarian crises. The initiative operates as a centralized platform to raise and allocate funds toward architecture- and infrastructure-focused relief efforts, prioritizing transparency, efficiency, and real-world impact. Through this program, I have led project planning, donor coordination, and impact assessment, applying architectural thinking to humanitarian challenges. Learn more at pairp.org.
CommonForm - Architecture Case Study Archive
CommonForm is an independent architectural study archive composed of A2-format analytical documents examining everyday buildings. Through spatial, material, daylighting, and climate analysis, the archive documents overlooked typologies and evaluates how ordinary architecture performs in real conditions. The work prioritizes clarity, restraint, and critical observation over speculation or stylisitc expression.
As a member of AIAS, I engage with architecture-focused programming, design culture, and academic exploration beyond the classroom. This involvement reflects my early commitment to the architectural profession and my interest in understanding the discipline at a collegiate and professional level.
Boy Scouts of America
As an Eagle Scout, I demonstrated long-term leadership, project planning, and community service. Achieving the Palm Gold distinction reflects continued commitment beyond the Eagle rank, emphasizing discipline, responsibility, and service — skills that directly translate to architectural practice and leadership.
National Youth Leadership Training camp really changed the way I understand leadership. Going through the program pushed me to step out of my comfort zone and actually take initiative instead of waiting for someone else to lead. I learned how to communicate with purpose, how to stay calm when things got stressful, and how to bring a team together by listening and supporting people instead of trying to control everything. It taught me that leadership is about setting a vision, building trust, and helping others succeed — and those lessons shaped the way I carry myself in every group I’m part of.
PCEP - Certified Entry-Level Python Programmer
As a certified Entry‑Level Python Programmer, I pursued formal training and examination to ground my technical abilities in a rigorous, industry‑recognized standard. Earning this certification reflects my commitment to computational thinking, algorithmic clarity, and the disciplined practice of writing clean, efficient, and logically structured code. Through this process, I strengthened my understanding of core programming concepts—data types, control flow, functions, object‑oriented principles, and problem decomposition—while learning to approach challenges with precision and analytical depth.
SketchUp for Architecture Students Certified
As a SketchUp for Architecture Students certified designer, I formalized my proficiency in digital modeling through a program built specifically for emerging architects. This certification demonstrates my ability to translate conceptual ideas into precise three‑dimensional forms, using SketchUp as both a technical tool and a medium for architectural exploration. Through structured training and assessment, I strengthened my understanding of spatial modeling, geometric accuracy, component organization, and workflow efficiency—skills essential for producing clean, communicative architectural representations.
As the lead author of an independent architectural publication, I conceptualized and authored a book examining architectural philosophy, sacred design principles, and the relationship between space, belief, and form. This initiative reflects my interest in architectural theory, critical thinking, and using design as a medium for intellectual and cultural exploration.
As a DECA District 3 Qualifier, I demonstrated strong business acumen, strategic thinking, and the ability to communicate complex ideas under competitive pressure. Advancing through the district level reflects my capacity to analyze real‑world business scenarios, craft persuasive solutions, and present them with clarity, confidence, and professionalism. This achievement highlights not only my understanding of core business principles—marketing, finance, entrepreneurship, and management—but also my ability to apply them in fast‑paced, high‑stakes environments.
Assistant Senior Patrol Leader
Elected by peers to serve as one of the troop's top youth leaders, I assist the Senior Patrol Leader in planning, organizing, and executing troop activities, including community service projects, camping trips, and leadership training. In this role, I mentor and guide younger scouts, coordinate patrol responsibilities, and help ensure smooth operation of all troop programs. Serving as ASPL has strengthened my leadership, teamwork, and orginizational skills while allowing me to make a meaningful impact on my troop and community.
