About

A pragmatic full stack engineer.

Senior Full Stack Engineer with six years of production experience shipping AI-powered web apps in Next.js, React, Vue.js, Node.js, NestJS, and Python. Based in Lahore, Pakistan, open to full-time roles and contract work with teams worldwide.

AI where it earns its keep

From contract intelligence at Grip Facility to investment scoring at Hainok, I integrate LLMs and AI workflows where they actually move metrics not as decoration. Prompt design, evals, latency, cost, and graceful fallback are part of the work.

Ship the actual thing

I join projects mid-flight and get them moving production code, real users, real deadlines. Most of my engagements involved dropping into existing Next.js or NestJS codebases and shipping value within the first week.

Stack-fluent, not stack-loyal

Next.js, React, Vue, NestJS, Node I pick what fits the problem, not what's trending. Five years across many stacks taught me that taste and judgment matter more than tools.

Full-stack as a single surface

Frontend bugs are often backend bugs. I own features end-to-end so feedback loops stay tight and the seams don't rot. One person, one feature, one outcome that is how production work gets shipped on time.

What I build with.

Tools I use day-to-day. Most I learned by shipping in production, not in tutorials.
