Public Speaking

Hi, I am Wajahat Karim.
I have been very passionate and active about public speaking, so that I can share my experiences and learnings with others. This way I can contribute to community building and bringing impact in our society. Maybe that’s why Google has recognized me as Google Developer Expert in Android.
If you would like me to speak at your event, please send me an email or here’s my speaker bio for your event’s social media and session announcements etc.
