Building the web,
one layer at a time.

I'm a Senior Full-Stack Engineer with deep expertise in PHP, Laravel, Vue.js, React, Node.js, and AI integration. Based between Dubai and Pakistan and working remotely with clients across the US, UAE, and Europe, I ship AI-powered automation, CRM integrations, and cloud-native architecture on AWS that solve real business problems.

"Twice recognized as Employee of the Quarter for AI systems with measurable impact — a 95%-accuracy validation engine processing 1M+ records, and an automated dealer import system that cut onboarding time by 90%."

My expertise lies in integrating AI capabilities into production systems — connecting LLMs, CRMs, payment platforms, and social APIs into seamless workflows. I've shipped products used by 100,000+ monthly active users, and hold a Master's degree in Computer Science from Bahria University alongside my full-time engineering career.
