I build the
systems teams
actually live in.

Nawabshah to Karachi. Computers were never tools — they were puzzles. The question that started all of it: could I build one myself?

How I work

Decisions before
keystrokes.

Most bugs in business systems are UX decisions, not code errors. So the work starts before the editor is open.

Business-aware
development

I focus on how teams actually work, so the software supports real operations rather than fighting them. Most bugs in business systems are UX decisions, not code errors.

Architecture
before code

Data models, permissions and growth paths get mapped on paper first. The decisions that matter most are made in the first hour, not the last sprint.

Reliable
under pressure

Backups before every deploy, deadline risks flagged a week early, and ownership when something breaks. Steady communication is part of the build.

Experience

Three years, in
production.

    Full-Stack Developer · Solvevare

    Software agency — SaaS & business systems. Building and shipping production SaaS platforms and business systems for real estate and operations clients. Own full-stack architecture and delivery — from data modelling and API design through to frontend implementation and cloud deployment.

    • Architected a campaign automation engine capable of processing 10 emails/sec — roughly 30,000+ per hour — with queue-based scheduling, retry logic, and per-user SMTP configs built on BullMQ and Redis
    • Built a multi-tenant CRM platform for real estate workflows: workspace-isolated tenancy, DocuSign contract signing, real-time chat, and automated follow-up pipelines — all in production
    • Engineered a rule-based inventory system managing 8,000+ products across configurable multi-portal architecture with hierarchical allotment logic across user groups and individuals
    • Built a full deal/transaction management module — multi-step deal creation, multi-party negotiation, and role-scoped visibility across agents, partners, and clients, with a secure branded portal for external counterparties
    • Wrote unit and integration tests for the natural-language action parser and backend execution layer, and set up Playwright end-to-end automation across core CRM workflows
    • Designed REST APIs consumed by web and mobile clients; managed AWS deployments with Docker containerisation across production environments

    MERN Stack Developer · ICreativez Technologies

    Award-winning global IT firm (201–500 people) — clients across North America, Europe & Asia. Joined as an intern and converted to a full-time MERN Stack Developer after 6 months — based on project output, not tenure. Shipped production work on a live e-commerce platform and multiple client projects across the full stack.

    • Promoted from intern to full-time developer in 6 months — conversion based on delivery quality on real client projects, not time served
    • Built and shipped product pages, checkout flows, filtering systems, and an admin dashboard for a live e-commerce platform used by real customers
    • Resolved page load and rendering performance issues across product listing views — identified bottlenecks in image handling and component rendering that were causing lag at scale
    • Converted Figma designs into responsive, production-ready interfaces and integrated REST APIs connecting frontend to backend services and third-party providers

    Research Intern · HBL Center for Blockchain & Applied Research

    Research division of HBL — Pakistan's largest commercial bank · Conducted at GIKI. Short-term research internship at GIKI within the applied research arm of Pakistan's largest commercial bank. Focused on blockchain integration patterns in financial systems and contributed to prototype development alongside domain researchers and engineers.

    • Researched transaction transparency and smart contract use cases for banking workflows — contributed findings to internal research documentation
    • Built proof-of-concept applications on Ethereum and Hyperledger Fabric to validate integration approaches
    • Presented technical research to cross-functional teams of engineers and domain researchers at one of Pakistan's leading engineering institutions
    • Contributed to a research environment backed by HBL — Pakistan's largest bank by assets
Case notes

The two I had to
solve from first
principles.

Annotation

Both had to be reasoned out rather than looked up. That is the part worth showing.

Multi-tenant CRM · Solvevare

Campaign automation engine

The first background job system I architected from scratch. Scheduling, custom intervals, per-user SMTP configs, retry logic and failure tracking — with one hard constraint: never send the same person the same campaign twice.

Inventory platform · Solvevare

Hierarchical allotment engine

Allocation rules cascading from category to subcategory to individual product, across user groups and individuals. Deducting one person's limit could not affect anyone else's. No good tutorials exist for this — the logic came from first principles.

What I focus on

The work I do best

  1. 01

    Building scalable SaaS platforms and admin dashboards

  2. 02

    Designing backend architecture for business workflows

  3. 03

    Turning product and operational requirements into production-ready systems

  4. 04

    Balancing technical depth with clear communication for clients and teams

How I build

Four phases

  1. Discovery and framing

    Clarify business goals, users, workflows, and success signals before architecture starts taking shape.

  2. System design

    Map roles, permissions, data flow, integrations, and operational constraints so the product can grow cleanly.

  3. Delivery rhythm

    Build in small, visible milestones that make collaboration easier for both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

  4. Launch and iteration

    Ship with a stable baseline, monitor usage, then refine the product around real feedback and edge cases.

Most developers build forthe ticket in front of them.I build for the systemthat ticket belongs to.

I also play chess. Both disciplines share the same logic — read the whole board before you move, not just the piece in front of you.

Where I’m going

Three years out I want to be running my own software house or shipping my own SaaS. Every production system I build now is practice for that — not just code that ships, but decisions that still hold up six months later.

FAQ

Before you
get in touch.

The things that come up in almost every first conversation — answered here so the first message can be about your project instead.

01
What does a project cost?
It depends on scope, and I would rather scope it properly than quote blind. I prefer fixed-price work with clear deliverables so you know what you are paying for before anything starts.
02
Are you available right now?
Yes — taking on selected projects for Q4 2026. I keep the number deliberately small so the ones I do take get proper attention.
03
How quickly do you reply?
Within 24 hours, usually sooner. I am based in Karachi (PKT), which overlaps a full working morning with Europe and the early hours with the US East Coast.
04
Existing codebase or new build?
Both. A good deal of my work has been picking up live production systems — an e-commerce platform, a multi-tenant CRM — and extending them without breaking what already ships.
05
You use AI tools. Does that cost quality?
No — I use Cursor, Claude and Copilot to move faster on the parts that are typing, not the parts that are thinking. Architecture, data modelling and edge cases are still worked out on paper first.
06
Is what I send you confidential?
Yes. Ideas, workflows and documents stay between us, and I am happy to sign an NDA before you share anything you would rather protect.
Next step

If you need someone who thinks in product, architecture and delivery.

Bring the rough idea, the existing workflow, or the messy process. I’ll help shape it into something worth building — and worth maintaining after launch.
