About me.

The short version.

Eight years of hands-on engineering — MVPs, SaaS products, internal platforms, and large-scale production systems.

Based in Faisalabad, Pakistan. Backend specialist (Python — FastAPI, Django, Flask; Ruby on Rails; Node), with cloud infrastructure across AWS, Azure, Docker, and Kubernetes. I build scalable APIs, AI-powered features, automation pipelines, and modernize legacy codebases into secure, maintainable systems.

My edge is the way I integrate modern AI coding tools and agentic workflows — Claude Code, Codex, GitHub Copilot, Cursor — into real engineering work. Move faster, ship more, while keeping testing, security, and release decisions under strong human oversight.

Got a backend or AI problem?

APIs, AI agents, automation, or rescuing a legacy codebase — let's scope it on Upwork.
