Meet your Microsoft Student Partner (MSP)

As I struggle to get access to the university’s email distribution lists I have decided to write my blog on regular basis. Since I have received confirmation from Microsoft about being selected the Microsoft Student Partner (MSP) for the University of Greenwich I am trying to get hold of people to help me out in the first step which is to introduce myself to the university students and staff members. While I get my access sorted out I thought I should waste no more time and introduce myself using other possible ways. This blog is one of them and is going to be the official information source from your MSP.

My name is Nabeel Moghal and I am a final year student of BEng H. Software Engineering at the University of Greenwich. I am based at the Maritime Greenwich Campus and nearly all MSP events will be held there. I am a MCSD (VC++), MCSD.NET (.NET 1.1) and MCTS (MS SQL Server 2005). I spent last year at Intel for my industrial placement where I have been involved heavily with real life software and systems engineering. My technical interests are Virtualisation, Computer Vision and High Performance Computing.

I am delighted to say that this is the first time in the university’s history that someone has been selected MSP. We need to have Greenwich representation at Microsoft Campus and I hope someone is thinking about taking this responsibility next year. Please feel free to drop me an email or catch me in the campus if you need further information about the programme.

As a MSP I would be holding different events and technical talks. I am hoping to invite industry leaders from Microsoft and other major organizations. The first event we are looking to do is Microsoft Windows Vista’s campus launch early next year. I am talking to Microsoft reps in the university and MSPs from nearby universities to help out in this. You’ll be notified about the details once we have more information. Keep watching this space, it’s going to be the first of its kind and it’s going to be a good one.

Thanks

(MSP) Nabeel Moghal
