Hi there, and thanks for visiting this space. A brief introduction –

I’m Husain and am based out of the beautiful (most liveable) city of Melbourne – Australia.

Things that keep me busy

I am in the Software Engineering space. I have been working in the financial domain for the last 20+ years.

Apart from my day job, I love to tinker with technology which includes electronics. I used to volunteer for CoderDojo pre-covid and was involved in running one at Docklands Melbourne for over a year. The joy of teaching kids how to code and moreover teaching them to innovate and solve problems can be fun and a learning experience in itself. I encourage more techs out there to teach the next-gen how to code.

Pre-covid I was involved in Melbourne’s Blockchain cohort contributing and helping solve some typical challenges around usage and acceptance of Blockchain based solutions. My latest interest topic is computer vision and NLP. With AI growing at breakneck speed, it is imperative for us technologists to build the next generation of applications for use cases we may not have even thought of. Look for my AI topics that might interest you.

I have also been involved in with non-profits (back in India) in areas of Climate change, volunteering at schools for kids with Downs Syndrome, CP and MR and have been an active contributor to the Indian Cancer Society.

In my free time

I love exploring nature and am an avid camper and into hiking, and my latest love is sailing. I did try my hands on flying small aircrafts and soon realised its an expensive hobby. I love playing soccer, table tennis and badminton and love riding motorbikes. The longest I’ve done in a single day is 450 kms yet. Follow me on Instagram @the.brown.biker.

A wee bit of history

Born and raised in the Kuwait. Lived there for the first 15 years of my life. Moved to India in 2001 and most of my late teen and early adult life was spent in Pune and Mumbai. After another 15 years took a bigger leap moving to Melbourne looking for a better life and greater challenges. Melbourne has been an amazing journey however I always believe that we humans are in constant flux. More on this soon.

Reach out

I’m always looking to solve problems – if you have an interesting one please do reach out on LinkedIn or Twitter (sorry but Mr Mu5k’s (un)ethical ways has made it impossible for me to be on the platform).

I also love meeting people and talking on emerging technologies and on various other real world problems. Its time we use this power we are gifted with to solve real world problems and make it a better place for the next generation.
