Abubaker Siddiq ShekhaniSolutions Architect

I'm a Solutions Architect, AI Engineer, Astronomy Enthusiast, and Traveler.

I'm currently a Solutions Architect at Seventh Sense, where I lead end-to-end solution delivery — from discovery and design to development, deployment, and integration. I also collaborate with our partner Gardiyan on IT security pre-sales initiatives, conducting technical demonstrations and proof-of-concept implementations for enterprise clients in Pakistan.

I use Cursor AI and Claude Code for AI-Assisted Development. For Vibe Coding, I use Lovable and Replit although I have used Bolt and v0 too in past!

Previously, I was a Solution Architect at Systems Limited, where I spearheaded digital banking solutions for institutions like Bank of Punjab, United Bank Limited, and U-Bank. My work included leading the successful implementation of Raast (P2P) payments, integrating third-party FinTech services, and designing scalable banking platforms serving millions of customers.

Before that, I led the Software Innovation Department at Young’s Foods, an FMCG giant in Pakistan. There, I architected and delivered large-scale solutions including Milk Procurement automation, nationwide Sales Order Booking systems, and Retail Merchandising apps, all tightly integrated with Microsoft Dynamics AX ERP.

My journey began with ERP and product development at Microsoft partners like Mazik Global and Reon Energy, where I contributed to Dynamics AX 2012 core product features and full-cycle ERP implementations. Over the past decade, I’ve built software solutions across industries — from energy and healthcare to finance and FMCG.

Outside of work, I co-founded the Karachi Astronomers Society in 2010, where I continue to lead astronomy events, stargazing sessions, and mountain camping trips. Exploring the skies and the mountains is not just a passion — it’s where I recharge and find perspective.

I’m deeply passionate about Generative AI, automation, and building intelligent systems that bridge technology with real-world impact.
