ABOUT ME
ENGINEERING ROOTS. ENTERPRISE PERSPECTIVE.Built on experience.
Driven by possibility.
I’m Wasim, a cloud and security architect with a career spanning telecommunications, applied intelligence, and global banking.
Today, I work as an AWS Solution Architect in HSBC’s Global Cloud Services. My journey began in engineering in 2004, and has taken me through network consulting, design and validation, and enterprise architecture.
That progression shapes how I think: understand the whole system, pay attention to the details, and keep the business context in view.
