Haris Shamsi (linkedin profile) belongs to the Electrical Engineering batch of 1994-95 (graduated in 1998). Haris is probably the youngest professional in the local technology sphere to wield a lot of positive control when it comes to implementing Internet technologies correctly, consistently, and to world standards in the budding data industry of Pakistan.
Haris currently works as the head of Product Development for Mobilink Infinity, a project that will have a great impact on Pakistan’s data infrastructure. By its very nature the project will be definitive. Estimated to be a ~$200 million project, Mobilink Infinity is about quenching the broadband thirst of a nation that is very young in terms of data infrastructure but which has already showed a very high level of maturity in the voice domain. The technology behind the project is Wimax, and the equipment is being supplied by Alcatel Lucent and Motorola. WAIT! There is more to read… read on »

Salaam Dear Nedians,
Since my friend Faraz has told me and encouraged me to read and contribute to the NEDians blog, I have been enjoying the posts here and thinking about what to write. Today I was browsing the NED website and found my favorite teacher on the department’s people page.
I like the fact that they have posted photos of the faculty members. Among these is my own batch mate (and approximate name mate) Syed Abbas Ali, but there are also a lot of new faces there, which is good to see. While going through the list of teachers and their description I found a unique sentence I have not seen written on the NED website about any other teacher, here it is :
Mr. Shahab Tahzeeb is among the most popular teachers amongst the students in the department owing to his excellent teaching style.
I couldn’t agree more; he is not just popular, he is a favorite. I am not sure why the most popular teacher has his photo in black and white while all others are in color. Maybe popularity has its own color, after which you don’t need any more.
By the way I am in Seattle, WA, working for Amazon.com as a software development engineer and would love to hear from any NEDians in the area (any Microsofties?).
Go NEDians!

N.E.D. University is very dear to me, I had some of the best times of my life there with the best friends I ever had.
Almost all of us who graduated from N.E.D. have been very successful in our lives. From the moment we graduated, most of us have spread out around the world to pursue our dreams. The lessons we have learned along the way have been very interesting , educational and, in most cases, rewarding.
I am very proud to have been a part of the Computer Systems Engineering Batch 1994-95, and most of all I am very interested in finding out about all my friends from N.E.D: How they have been? What have they been up to? And which part of the world are they in right now?
Here’s a shout out to [UPDATED: August 16th, 2007] WAIT! There is more to read… read on »
