Muhammad Asad Siddiqui – About me

 

I am Asad Siddiqi , a software engineer by profession and working as a Professional Services Consultant at NCR Corporation. I did my bachelors in Computer Science from FAST-NU (Karachi ) in 2005 and started working at InfiniLogic when i was a Senior at School. There I had a lot of experience with .Net Technologies (Basically ASP.Net and related technologies). After that I moved to another Company which dealt with Software for self servicing terminals called Transaction Processing Systems  (TPS ) in Karachi , Pakistan , there I did some development for NCR EP42 Kiosk Terminals and made application software ( A State Engine)  which communicated with a centralized server based (A TCP Connection) on Proprietary protocol later converted to ISO 8583 . Went through the whole SDLC and it was a great experience !! I was exposed to many better technologies like XAML , SFTP Libraries , Remote Application Management Tools , Process Management Applications and building application Architectures for financial companies.

Then I moved to United States with a software setup in Maryland Peake Software Labs.There I did Core software development with VC++ , COM + ,VB.Net and ASP.Net . The project had a web enabled interface and basically was used as a schedular for Emergerncy departments at hospitals.It had modules for compensation management , user management and could be used from anywhere with a broswer and internet. From development’s perspective that was a great experience since i didnt have professional experience with VC++ and it really helped me learn the conventions essential for writing good code !!

Currently its a domain of my interest , Retails Group at NCR and i m simply enjoying it a lot !! Windows , Web Application development with Microsoft Technologies and Building application development libraries and frameworks .

Other than work , I am doing MS – Software Engineering from Johns Hopkins University .I like guitar playing , have a kind of interest in Cars , Browse for new technologies and Chat
In my free time I work freelance and try to implement whatever design is in my mind . If you like to talk about Software Design / architecture or have a crazy project Idea which you want to develop for free, I would love to hear from you !!
