Limkokwing alumnus in Software Engineering Fahim Abdullah Al Wasi created a first of its kind web-application called ‘Dawaat’ that was launched both online and in app stores.
This user-friendly app was created especially for customers who are not technologically savvy but want to enjoy the privilege of food delivered to their doorstep.
As we took a walk down memory lane and spoke to Fahim about his experiences in Malaysia, he shared many of his experiences here as a student at Limkokwing University.
He learnt to balance work with play, academic assignments with personal projects and theoretical modules with practical, real life experiences.
Over the last 3 years, Fahim has been pursuing a career in coding including his internship with AirAsia as the youngest and highest paid intern leading his team as a UI/UX designer. He also actively participated in 8 Hackathon competitions and won awards for 3 of them.
Apart from coding skills, Fahim picked up marketing and entrepreneurship skills that were vital in helping him build the confidence needed to start his own business venture.
As part of his learning ground, Fahim created his first ever app called ‘Bus Time’ which was made available for free to the students of Limkokwing University. The app was created to inform students of the university’s scheduled bus times to encourage a more smooth sailing travel journey.
Reflecting on his stint at Limkokwing University, he acknowledged that he had great accomplishments and received valuable support from his lecturers which helped him kick start a career of his dreams. “I gained key industry insights from experienced lecturers and input that helped me make Dawaat happen”, he said.
“I love the freedom that is given at Limkokwing. The university caters to young inspiring entrepreneurs and creative minds as they allow us to explore academic knowledge whilst working on personal projects”, he added.
As Dawaat expands in Bangladesh, Fahim envisions the brand globalising in due time and with that, we look forward to receiving the authentic flavours of Bangladesh at our doorstep!
