About your family:  My life – I am married to Nadia for 15 years and have two crazy but amazing kids, Asad who is 11 & Mahad who just turned 3. You can see all of us in the picture wearing traditional dresses, celebrating Eid (Religious Holiday) few weeks back.

Favorite book:  Unfortunately all the screen time keeps me away from books…….

Favorite hobbies: My kids and wife will say I have no life outside of computer and phone, which is unfortunately right so don’t get much time for any other hobby. Sometime I do biking and play cricket with my son.

Interesting fact about yourself:   I loved technology since childhood. Used to master all the functions of every complicated calculator my father used to have. When I was in 8th grade my dad got a really nice casio databank pocket book, which was kind of over his head (because of complexities). I started playing around with it and eventually created PACMAN in it by printing – and > < signs!. Only after getting to my 1st programming class I discovered that what I learned with that pocket book on my own was actually BASIC language. Yeah, Yeah I have been a geek….all my life.
