    About Me

    Hello! I'm Saraj Menghwar, a passionate Computer Science student from Tharparkar, Sindh, currently pursuing my BS at Punjab University College of Information Technology (PUCIT), Lahore. I specialize in DevOps, cloud technologies, and software development.

    My journey began with earning a 100% scholarship at Akhuwat College, Kasur, where I experienced cultural diversity and represented Sindhi culture. This experience taught me the importance of collaboration across cultures and shaped my problem-solving approach.

    Beyond coding, I'm a passionate chess player with the ambitious goal of becoming Pakistan's first Grandmaster. I'm also an active Akhuwat volunteer, promoting education and fighting hunger in communities. Currently freelancing on Upwork as a Linux Administrator and C++ Developer.
