Irfan Murtaza

I completed my undergraduate studies at COMSATS University, earning a Bachelor of Science degree in Software Engineering. Throughout my university journey, I devoted my time to diving into the complexities of technology, with a particular passion for artificial intelligence and research. 🚀

While I wasn't as socially active, I immersed myself in the world of coding competitions, sharpening my skills and staying up to date on the latest developments in the field.One notable experience was my participation in the FIT International Conference in Islamabad in 2017, where I had the opportunity to showcase my innovative final-year project. This project, centered around revolutionizing the agricultural industry, was presented as an idea aimed at addressing key challenges in the sector. 🎓

I began working as a Junior Software Engineer at a company in Islamabad. Right from the beginning, I got this tricky job to figure out how to update a system that was made 30 years ago using today's technologies.After that, I moved to Lahore and kept going with my engineering stuff. I've worked on lots of projects and products, and each one brought a new puzzle for me to solve. The journey has been hard, full of challenges, but also a lot of fun. ✨

My best project was when I was chosen to be part of a dedicated team tasked with constructing a micro-services-based architecture for a product that possesses a user base of around a million individuals. I've been with Emerald Labs for over a year now, and during this time, I've been involved in about five projects. Each project comes with its own set of learning challenges, pushing me to find and create solutions for our customers. 💪

The learning journey has been continuous, and the experience of working with an amazing team has truly shaped my career in the way I had envisioned when I first joined. I'm still eager to learn and grow further in this environment. 💼

When I kicked off my career as an engineer, I began thinking about the long-term direction I wanted to take.By seeking advice from industry experts and matching my skills accordingly, I envisioned myself as a Solution Architect in the future. Even after spending five years in the industry, I'm still committed to my early goal. ✨

Over the next five years, my focus will be on crafting tech solutions for various industries.My interests span across various realms, with a keen passion for cricket. Book reading is another hobby, and I find joy in exploring a diverse range of stuff.On the technological front, I stay engaged with the latest developments and innovations, always eager to dive into new advancements. 🌱

I love watching movies and TV shows, especially the ones about history, psychology, or mind games. It adds a lot of variety and fun to my free time.
