Whiz kid

By Sudeshna Ghosh, Staff Reporter
Meet one of the worldâs youngest Microsoft Certified Professionals.

Asghar Khan/Gulf News

This 10-year-old feels as comfortable fooling around with her 4-year-old brother as she does among adults professionals

Becoming a Microsoft Certified Professional is no mean feat. And if you do it at the tender age of 10 it is even more commendable.

Little Arfa Karim holds the distinction of being one the worldâs youngest known Microsoft Certified Professionals (MCP).

Pakistani pre-teen Arfaâs self-assured demeanour and mature, confident answers betray her special status as a recognised over-achiever.

However, little flashes of childishness in her behaviour serve as a reminder of who she really is deep down â an innocent 10-year-old who is equally comfortable fooling around with her 4-year-old brother, and holding her own among qualified adults at seminars and conferences.

Asghar Khan/Gulf News
Her rollercoaster ride to fame started when she passed the online Microsoft Certified Professional test in application development using the C# (pronounced C-sharp) language with 70 per cent marks last November, and the high point was meeting Bill Gates last month.

This exceptionally gifted child from Faisalabad, Pakistan, is not only a whiz-kid on the computer, rattling off computer jargon (as good as Greek to this technologically challenged writer), but also an accomplished singer and budding poetess.

She was in Dubai at the invitation of IT professionals in UAE, a professional group under the wing of the Pakistan Association. Excerpts from an interview

How does it feel to be one of the youngest Microsoft Certified Professional in the world?

It feels great. I didnât even know it would be such a big thing. But I always feel happy when I accomplish something and I felt very happy about this.
