I've been a nomad all my life. I recently moved to Canada making it my fifth geographic chapter after stints in Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, United States & Dubai. 

I work as Director of Marketing for a US-based virtual events platform. I lead a marketing team of 10 people tasked to woo our audiences with creative promotions. I love my work and I'm passionate about getting better at it. 

Education? Bachelor's from LUMS (Pakistan university) and MSc in CS from University of Pennsylvania (Philadelphia). I was a Fulbright scholar. 

Alhamdulillah, I'm a practicing Muslim trying his best to fulfill the duties assigned to him. I love the Deen and the beauty it holds in every aspect. 

At the same time, I'm not a hard liner and don't like to impose things. I've been fortunate to have been groomed by respected scholars who taught me that love and empathy are the keys to people's hearts. 

I certainly don't do the 3 Ds: drink, disco or drugs. 

Instead I do the 3 Cs: coffee, chai, chooc chip cookies :) 

I'm into travelling but not alone. I like to have a partner in crime. Memories are best generated in pairs. 

I love playing cricket and the funny thing is that I don't even need players. I can bowl leg spin to a wall all day and still be pretty happy. If you're into table tennis, then you'll have good company in me. 

I once had a cat. It was so fat that it got tired while eating. It taught me about the importance of fitness more than any Youtube video :)

When the weather's nice, I like to put on a podcast and jog for an hour. When it's not, I tend to write. 

Speaking of which, I write regularly on LinkedIn. I attempt to explain various concepts about product management and marketing in a linear, highly digestible manner. 

Skill? I can make rhymes for you at moments you'll least expect. Does that count? I'm not crazy good but I tend to have an epiphany every now and then. Wait for it :) 

I love the MCU & geek out on the endless possibilities it can go. Want to discuss theories? Just bring it. 

I'd like to also point out that I'm a divorcee with 2 kids. Only the eldest (10 years old) lives with me (well, at this point, with my parents back in Pakistan). The marriage lasted 8 years. I can share details if there is interest. 

I'm not for everyone. Luckily, I don't have to be. I just have to be enough for one :) 

I'm looking for a serious relationship leading to marriage. I'm ready to commit and partner with a compassionate woman. Someone intellectual who can converse like a boss but can be goofy at times and loves to laugh at my corny humor. 

I believe mutual respect is the guiding beacon for any relationship.
