Who’s
Ibrahim?
Research analyst.
Sports fan. Chai person.
I’m Ibrahim Javed, a research and data analyst based in Lahore. My background is in Economics and Finance, and my projects bring together business research, analytics and automation.
I currently work at FreeWill on research, data quality and workflow testing. Before that, I analysed campaign performance at Revcloud and researched consumer markets at Healthy Herbals. I’m also studying MS Technology Management and Entrepreneurship at LUMS.
Outside work, I’m usually moving. I work out, swim, and play badminton and table tennis. Lately, I’ve joined the padel bandwagon too.
I play and watch football and cricket. A 2 a.m. kickoff is rarely a good enough reason to miss a match. I’ll happily spend the next day analysing the football tactics or picking apart a cricket match—the decisions, the momentum shifts and what I’d have done differently.
I’m almost always up for a hangout, especially if chai is involved. I also co-founded SloRush. Building a brand gives me a chance to put my interest in business into practice.
Travelling and trekking help me switch off; K2 Base Camp is on the list. Family and friends keep me grounded. I like being someone they can come to for a proper conversation—or a laugh.


What you can expect from me.
- Be thorough.
- I check where an answer came from and flag anything I can’t verify.
- Be useful.
- I build tools and document my work so other people can use it without starting from scratch.
- Be someone people can count on.
- I take responsibility for my work and make time to listen. A question or a different view is always welcome.
