I have been working in multiple platforms and my latest development experience includes job at Tecnomics International where I am working on SharePoint Business Intelligence AM-charts and SharePoint Branding. At Tecnomics International I explored SharePoint 2010/2013 and its development and its integration with report server and SSAS. My core responsibilities at Tecnomics international were handling project right from the proposal to the sign off. I worked on AFAQ Encyclopedia, AFAQ Performance Management and AFAQ student Assessment and reports of Different projects at Tecnomics International. Apart from the job at Tecnomics International I had work experience of the internship at Microsoft Innovation Center where I worked on Windows 8, Windows Phone and Windows Azure application development. I had also worked on Windows Phone application “YearBook”.
Currently I am working on SharePoint at Systems Limited as Software Engineer.
