In 1947, when India was divided into two parts, Syed's parents made the significant decision to move to Pakistan. Growing up, Syed was part of a close-knit family, consisting of three brothers and one sister. While his oldest, second oldest brothers and the sister are no longer with us, his youngest brother resides in the United States.

Syed Mahmood Hussain's educational pursuits led him to study architecture in Pakistan, where he successfully completed his studies and obtained his degree. His passion for the field drove him to venture beyond his homeland. In 1968, he embarked on a new chapter by traveling to Dubai, where he began his professional career as an architect.

In 1970, fate brought Syed to Denmark when he arrived as a tourist. Captivated by the country, he decided to make it his permanent home. The same year, he tied the knot in Pakistan and brought his wife along to embark on their Danish journey together. Over time, their family grew to include a daughter and a son, forming a close-knit unit of four, according to Danish standards.

Initially, Syed Mahmood Hussain immersed himself in several small jobs that not only provided him with financial stability but also allowed him to learn the Danish language through direct interaction with the local community. In 1973, he secured a significant breakthrough when he joined MikroVærk A/S as a technical designer. MikroVærk A/S specialized in the production of chocolate machines and large-scale chocolate production plants.

Driven by a thirst for knowledge and personal growth, Syed Hussain transitioned to a new opportunity in 1978, joining Storno, a company focused on manufacturing mobile communication systems. Throughout his tenure, Storno experienced various ownership changes, eventually being acquired by foreign entities such as GE and Motorola. Motorola, a renowned name in mobile telephony, retained its association with Syed. During his time at Motorola, he pursued an educational path, studying as a technologist with a specialization in EDB (Electronic Data Processing).

In 1993, after a commendable 15-year tenure at Motorola, Syed Mahmood Hussain decided to explore new horizons. The company had shifted several core operations to Ireland and Germany, prompting him to seek fresh challenges. Fascinated by the field of computer science, he actively engaged in numerous computer courses from 1980 to 1998, further expanding his expertise.

In 1980, Syed took his first step into the realm of personal computing, acquiring his very own computer. This was a time when personal computers were still in their infancy. He vividly recalls spending 13,000 kr. on an "8088" computer, which did not come with a monitor. In those days, computer mice were non-existent, and the black-and-white screen had to be purchased separately for 3,000 kr. Hard disks were not yet available, and the bulky floppy disks served as the primary storage medium.

After concluding his tenure at Motorola, Syed Hussain ventured into the role of a marketing consultant at a relatively small company exclusively associated with Motorola. However, due to intense competition in the computer industry, the company faced difficulties and eventually ceased operations.

Undeterred by this setback, Syed Mahmood Hussain embarked on a new endeavour in 1995, establishing his own computer company. Unfortunately, the fierce competition proved insurmountable, leading to its closure and financial loss. Unwavering in the face of adversity, Syed Hussain sought fresh avenues to channel his knowledge and expertise.

In 2000, an opportunity presented itself when Niels Brock Business School reached out to Syed with an offer to teach IT. Accepting the proposition, he dedicated himself to educating aspiring IT professionals until the turn of the millennium. His teaching journey continued at TEC, Denmark's largest Technical Business Centre, where he shared his extensive knowledge and experiences until 2004.

Syed Mahmood Hussain's illustrious career encompasses a blend of architectural mastery, technical proficiency, and a fervent passion for teaching. His unwavering dedication and willingness to adapt have positioned him as a notable figure within both the architectural and IT realms. As he continues to embrace new challenges, Syed serves as an inspiration to future generations aspiring to make their mark in the fields of architecture, technology, and education.
