Techlogix Pakistan (Pvt) LTD

On 1st December 2006, it was my first official day at Techlogix Pakistan (Pvt) LTD. After serving Intagleo Systems (Pvt) LTD, I decided to switch to a bigger software house. Bigger in a sense that it is matured, organized and many people here are much like me

I am assigned to a team working on the enhancement of InteractX software of Parker Hannifin Corporatin – Computer Technology Corporation (PHC-CTC). The task is to enhance the existing ATL/COM based MFC application.

Another important thing is that I joined Haroon Saeed, my great batch fellow and a very close friend. He has also mentioned about this project I hope to stay here for a longer time than the previous one. I hope everything goes fine…

A day of remembrance

November 30th, 2006 will go in the record books as the day when Muhammad Yousaf broke a couple of records. For me there will be one more addition other than these, that will be my last day in Intagleo Systems (Pvt) Ltd.
Woww……. A year and 10 months…… 648 days to be precise……….from Feb 21st 2005 till Nov 30th 2006…………………….. a wonderful experience and great learning helped me to get a job in Techlogix Pvt Ltd.
Developers of both teams; CCTV and Agrando(RTV) arranged a farewell for me. A couple of old colleagues were called too. We had lunch in AFC, H-Block branch. It was great fun. Thanx to everyone a lot. I appreciate everyone for giving me such an importance.
The Experience:
The time I spent in Intagleo was unique in its own way. I learned new domain, technologies and tools. I came across many problems and the way my managers helped me out is unforgettable. I appreciate for what they have done for me and I give them high regards. The staff was very helpful and caring, they were always there whenever I needed any guidance. I really appreciate the times my network manager spent with me, the approaches he told me to follow in the development field…….are tooo goood. My managers always put me at ease in handling my responsibilities and I enjoyed my fellow developers experiences and made them enjoy my experiences toooo. They all treated my like their brother and shared every problem with me and I did the same with them. We tried to help each other in any problem which was bugging anyone of us. We participated in many games(indoor and outdoor) and I still smile on those events, lunchs, dinners and farewells which we gave to our fellow developers….I did not think that I will be getting a farewell so early in my life, but still I had a great time with everyone there and I wish them best of luck for the future.

Husnain Malik, Sami Uz Zaman and Jehanzeb Haroon

On Thursday, September 21st, 2006…………….our office arranged a farewell dinner for Husnain, Sami and Jehanzeb in Freddy’s at M.M. Alam Road.

Sami Uz Zaman has been doing MS in LUMS, so he left Intagleo about a month ago, so his farwell was due. He was in the other team in Intagleo, but he was the first person to introduce this professional work. He guided me and helped me to begin my career. He has always been a very helpful person, and I never saw him without a smile. Well, just because of the life cycle of software industry, everyone has to grow, so Sami had to leave. I wish him Good Luck.

Husnain Malik joined Intagleo a year ago after the 8th October 2005 earthquake. As in “Surah Zalazil” in Holy Quran, that after earthquake good things rise and truth appears for the people who are good and righteous. I think that earthquake revealed Husnain Malik for me. He joined my team, and he has been a very helpful, sincere, trustful and intellect person. He made me understand the meaning of software industry. He helped me in so much matters. He came here after doing MS in Computer Science from Monash University, Australia………and the experiences he has shared were too goood. He will be leaving Intagleo for a growth in his career next month. I think I am going to miss him. He has been a great team mate. I loved working with him on several projects in Intagleo Systems. I wish him Good Luck.

Jehanzeb Haroon joined Intagleo earlier this year. He joined Intagleo as a marketing manager. Even though he has done BS in Software Engineering from Australian university, he has great marketing skills. He is a person who can convice you even to sell yourself for the better prospects…just kidding. He will be leaving us next month. He found a replacement for him………and it turned out to be Sharjeel Murtaza, his batch mate in Australia. Sharjeel was my batch mate in Punjab University, he got his credits transfered to Australia where he met Jehanzeb, who was his college mate in Cresent College. Wow, the world has turned out to be a global village. How the circle completes, great…….:) Well I wish Jehanzeb good luck for his new post as a planning manager in Mobilink.

All is well that ends well. I hope my link with them does not end here. I wish we meet again some where else some time again in life. I wish…..

Last post I made was about months back. Now I will post daily some posts related to all work I have done in the previous year……. Previous year……..wow…….Now I have an experience of more than a year in my development career.

I have been developing in C++/VC++/VC++.Net/C#, and have used few things in backend(Access, Excel, XML and then finally I was asked to use MySql). Besides these I also used Matlab, IrfanView, VCD-Cutter,Virtual Dub and Crystal Reports…………..these are the things which I used again and again for simplifing my tasks.

The domain in which I have been working is Computer Vision…………. and the products are Customer Counting using a single Network Camera, Customer Recognition, Face Detection, Tracking…… It has been a very wonderful first year…………. I’ll discuss all the things which I read and performed research in…… I hope my coming years are as wonderful as the first one
Congratulations Bunty [i.e. me] for completing the first professional year.
