About Me

Bridging the Gap Between Hardware and Software

Hello! I am Syeda Kashaf Kulsoom, an Electronic Engineer with a passion for building smart, practical systems. I recently graduated with a Bachelor of Engineering from NED University of Engineering & Technology, maintaining a 3.716 CGPA and earning the Ehsaas Undergraduate Scholarship for four consecutive years.

My technical expertise lies in designing IoT and embedded solutions, where I love turning theoretical ideas into real-world applications. From developing environmental monitoring tools to automating industrial furnace systems, I focus on creating scalable technology that makes a tangible impact on the industry and the environment.

Beyond the lab, I am deeply committed to Educational Leadership. I have designed curriculum modules and mentored over 300 national and international students in innovation and design thinking. Whether I am optimizing a RISC-V processor or teaching a robotics workshop, I am driven by a curiosity to understand how things work and a desire to improve them.

Currently, I am seeking to deepen my research in embedded systems and IoT, with the goal of advancing these technologies through doctoral studies.
