Usman Ahmed Siddiqui — Electrical Engineer

About Me

I am Usman, an Electrical Engineering graduate of NED University of Engineering and Technology, with over a year of hands-on experience in technical sales and project delivery.

I began my career at DSG Energy as a Renewable Technical Sales Engineer, contributing to large-scale industrial projects totalling upwards of 6 MW and B2C engagements totalling up to 60 kW. I am currently with GCS (Pvt.)
