Usama Javed leads BHLP's technology function as Director of Information Technology and Innovation.

He built BHLP's digital infrastructure from the ground up, including the systems that support the program's operations and digital identity.
Usama's guiding focus is accessibility — expanding access to technology and digital literacy among Pakistani youth, particularly young women. He also leads BHLP's digital literacy training, extending that focus into the program's core offerings.
During his university years, he was closely involved with the software engineering community at Riphah International University, Islamabad, collaborating with multiple software houses and organizing sessions that connected students directly with leaders from Pakistan's tech industry. He began his professional career as a Fullstack Developer for DigiTeam Solutions Limited, a UK-based accounting firm, where he independently managed the company's digital infrastructure and systems architecture.
As a founding team member, Usama's technical leadership has been central to establishing BHLP's operational foundation and expanding its reach.
