I’m Jaffer Haider, currently doing an MSE (Masters of Software Engineering) from Carnegie Mellon
University (in Pittsburgh USA). I’ll be done with this program around December 2009. Since I’m here on the Fulbright Scholarship, I’ll be heading back home to Pakistan after that.
I have an undergraduate degree from the Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS), class of 2006. My major as you probably must have guessed was Computer Science.
Right after my undergrad I started work at Techlogix (Lahore), as part of the Picateers team. Around late 2007, I moved to CDF Software and was part of their CDF Snip team for about 6 months. I’ve also done the occasional freelance project from time to time.
In addition to writing about technology and things that interest me in general, and the odd post about what I’m up to, I also contribute to Green and White, an online journal about Pakistan’s tech industry (and much more).
More of my online antics are in the sidebar on the right.









Salam Jaffer,
I am a Pakistani working for an IT company in Finland. We are planning to conduct focus groups in Pakistan. I tried to locate via web but unfortunately not much information. Do you know any usability companies in Pakistan who could recruit the users and who could rent out their premises for the focus groups?
If you know a company that have the required facilities for conducting focus group, please let me know.
thanks.
