Project History

Integration of Digital Platform for Maternal and Children's Health

https://www.venturedive.com/clients/vital-pakistan-trust/

Built a digital solution for longitudinal data collection and patient monitoring, serving as a powerful tool to save and improve the lives of women and children in the suburbs of Karachi, Pakistan.

I managed a team of 15-20 developers, testers, analysts, and DevOps to deliver several digital platform releases. Initially launched in five suburban communities with 30 users, the system is now scaled to more than 200 users in more than 50 communities. Over 200 thousand women and children are served through the platform.

Airlift Web Application Design Revamp

Redesigned the Q-commerce website to give a state-of-art look and feel, led the design, development, and QA teams while managing client stakeholders.

I led the Q-commerce website's design, development, and testing, completing the project in two and a half months. Despite stringent timelines, I kept the project on track, motivated the team, and delivered the project on time and under budget.

I managed the client stakeholder groups across the executive level, product team, design team, and technical team.

Web Portal for Sustainable Farming

https://www.rainforest-alliance.org/utz/

Launched a sustainable product enabling farmers to use better farming methods, grow better crops, and generate more income.

I managed a diverse team comprising the technical team, supply chain, and client stakeholders based in the Netherlands. I traveled to the Netherlands and Thailand for client meetings, requirement gathering, and demos.

I also organized several releases using Agile methodology, particularly Scrum, and kept the client updated on the progress through regular sync-ups, weekly progress reports, and demos.
