ABOUT ME
I’m currently working as an Embedded Software Engineer at Arm and living in Manchester. Alhamdulillah, I’m settled here and have been living independently.
Originally from Lahore, although this might get my Lahori card revoked, but I actually love Islamabad more 😭
Personality-wise, I’m a mix of a science geek and someone who is always looking for the next adventure.
A lot of my free time goes into travelling, hiking, skiing, backpacking, climbing, and picking more hobbies like pokemons, lately I have been taking flying lessons as well. I love photography, so you are already in for a treat of getting good photos.
At the same time, I can happily spend hours messing around with DIY projects, experiments, tech, science, or geeking out over sci-fi.
I also enjoy dressing well, whether that’s smart casuals, formals, or just putting together a good outfit.
I have two cats, so yes, I’m very much a cat dad.
I volunteer with animals and children, and mentor a few younger people. I’m quite interested in psychology, mental health, challenging traditional parenting and educational system, as well as generally questioning some of the traditional ways we do things.
This all probably sounds a bit serious on paper, but I promise I have a true Gen Z energy in real life 😭
FAMILY
I have one sister. She is an MBBS graduate, also working in the UK.
My father is retired and previously worked as an Assistant Accounts Officer at GENCO. My mother is a homemaker.
I’m quite close to my family, but at the same time we’ve built a healthy dynamic where everyone respects each other’s boundaries and independence. That’s also why I prefer a nuclear setup after marriage.
RELIGION
I try to pray all five prayers, although I’m not perfect. I observe fasting and the other religious obligations and try to keep a balance between deen and dunya.
I also like asking questions and thinking critically about religion rather than following something just because “that’s how it has always been done.”
I don’t really believe in judging people based on caste, sect, or similar labels, and I’d appreciate someone who also sees beyond those cultural stereotypes.
MARRIAGE AND CHILDREN
Marriage timeframe: Ideally within the next 1–2 years, but more importantly whenever I meet the right person.
Children: Yes, ideally, but I don’t want children immediately after marriage. I’d rather spend a few years building a life and relationship together first.
I’m also not fixated on children as something that absolutely has to happen. Sometimes things aren't meant to be the way we expect, and ultimately that is by the will of Allah.
PERSONALITY AND LIFESTYLE
I’d say I’m naturally curious and a bit of a thrill-seeker.
I love travelling and outdoor adventures, especially skiing, hiking, mountaineering, climbing, and backpacking. I’d much rather have a trip where something interesting happens than just stay in a hotel and tick tourist spots off a list.
That said, I also enjoy staying in, watching sci-fi, building random things, experimenting, baking occasionally, and generally going down unnecessary rabbit holes about whatever topic has caught my attention.
Mental health and psychology matter a lot to me too. I think a healthy marriage needs communication, emotional maturity and the ability to actually talk about things instead of letting resentment build up.
WHAT I’M LOOKING FOR
Ideally, I’m looking for someone intelligent, mature, curious, and open-minded.
I’d prefer someone well-educated, but for me being genuinely intelligent and inquisitive matters more.
Since travelling and adventure are a big part of my life, I’d really like someone who either already enjoys those things or is at least into these things. I don’t expect someone to already be climbing mountains, but being open to new experiences matters a lot.
A good sense of dressing is definitely a plus too :)
I’m fairly flexible when it comes to age and height. Fitness, mindset, mutual attraction, and whether our lifestyles actually work together matter much more to me.
Obviously, I’m not expecting someone to tick every single box. Compatibility matters more than perfection.
DEAL BREAKER
Since travelling, outdoor adventures, and trying new things are such a big part of my life, I think I’d struggle with someone who prefers a very restricted or overly conventional lifestyle.
Someone not athletic, too conservative, psychologically unhealed and lack of maturity.
I have two cats as well, so it would be nice to be with someone who’s comfortable around animals.
LOVE LANGUAGE
I’m probably more sentimental than I look.
I love giving thoughtful or handmade gifts rather than just buying something expensive for the sake of it. It could be something like preserving a flower in epoxy resin, making a postcard from a photo I specifically took for someone, baking brownies, or leaving a random note.
I’m also quite affectionate and like the idea of PDA.
