My story
I grew up in a middle-class family in Khairpur, in rural Sindh, with no roadmap for the career I wanted. I found the way by trying, failing and asking. Today I split my time between people and platforms: mentoring, coaching and making Sindhi videos on one side; secure cloud engineering as a CNCF Kubestronaut on the other.
The other half of my work is engineering. I am a DevSecOps engineer who likes making complicated things simple: automated pipelines, secure Kubernetes platforms and releases teams can trust. At Pakistan Single Window I build the tooling behind WeBOC, the country’s customs clearance system, where it cut deployment time by up to 90%.
Along the way: Google DSC Lead at Mehran UET, the first GitHub Campus Expert from Jamshoro, a Microsoft Gold Student Ambassador, a Stack Overflow moderator, DevOps trainer to 70+ students and co-founder of DevConnect, a community of 5,000 developers and learners.

What people say
Reviews from 1:1 sessions and recommendations from the people I have worked with, in their own words.
I had a great one-hour session with Mr. Rashid Wassan. I learned a lot from his experience and came away with a clearer view of several topics:
Communication: practical ways to build confidence and put ideas across clearly.
Job hunting: modern ways to move through the job market and stand out.
Data science in Pakistan: where the market is today, where it is growing, and the skills it asks for.
Scholarships: what it takes to compete for programmes like Chevening and Fulbright.
Pakistan or abroad: an honest comparison of career growth, culture and the change in lifestyle.
Government or corporate jobs: how they differ in stability and growth.

His advice was pure gold insightful, practical, and downright game changing. your guidance was a masterclass in inspiration. Huge respect and gratitude for your time and wisdom!

I enjoyed working with Rashid on a high-impact project for an FMCG giant, where we navigated complex challenges in a fast-paced DevSecOps environment. His expertise in Azure Cloud, Kubernetes, and DevSecOps stood out, but what truly impressed me was his problem-solving mindset, sense of responsibility, and results-driven approach.
