Who I Am

About Me

I'm Zain Abbas, an Electrical & Electronics Engineering student at FAST NUCES, Chiniot-Faisalabad Campus, with a deep passion for both hardware and software. Whether it's designing an analog circuit, programming an ATmega32 in C, or building a full-stack IoT application — I love turning ideas into working systems.

I've served as a Teaching Assistant for four core engineering courses: Linear Circuit Analysis, Complex Variable Transform, and Differential Equations. I also completed an AI Internship at CyberGen, where I worked on AI-based solutions, data analysis, and model building — bridging hardware expertise with intelligent software.

Outside academics, I actively participate in engineering competitions, having placed 1st in the Project Exhibition and won the Speed Wiring Competition. I am also a proud member of IEEE.
