Full stack engineer · Islamabad, Pakistan
Web apps, desktop apps, and the APIs behind them. I design the data model, build the UI, ship it, and keep it running.

I write about the work as I do it: build-in-public posts ↗
What I do
From the first schema to the thing your customers log into, and keeping it running afterwards.
Schema design, API, UI, auth, payments, hosting. You get a running product, not a handoff document.
Inherited a codebase nobody understands? I read it, make it safe to change, then build what you actually needed. Includes Angular and .NET Core.
NestJS and PostgreSQL on the back, React or Next.js on the front. Same code shipped as a native desktop app with Tauri when a browser tab isn't the right home for it.
RAG pipelines, LLM integrations, document search and assistants that fit into what you already run.
How we'd work together
No discovery phases that bill for months. Four steps, and you can stop after any of them.
Email me what you're building and we'll set up 20 minutes to talk it through. I tell you whether I'm the right person for it and what I'd worry about. No pitch deck.
What gets built, what doesn't, and what it costs. Fixed price where the work is clear, a weekly rate where it isn't.
You get software you can click, not a status report. If something is wrong we find out in week one, not month three.
Deployment, monitoring and backups are part of the job. Afterwards, a monthly retainer if you want me on call.
Not sure which of these you need? Email me and I'll tell you straight.
About
I'm a full stack engineer based in Islamabad. I studied electrical engineering at COMSATS, then spent four years in web development and operations at Casa Energy, a US solar company. After that came full stack engineering at Red Buffer, and now at Sanders.Software, where I'm the primary developer on EncryptionWire.
On the side I'm building Trakzen, a set of apps for small companies and for everyday use at home, and writing about it as I go. I like problems where the hard part is the data model, the security, or making something reliable enough that people stop noticing it.
Four to five hours of overlap with US Eastern, and a full working day with Europe and the UK.
Currently building
My own product company. Software for small businesses and for everyday use at home, from POS and e-commerce to Studio. More to come.

Contact
Available for remote contracts and part-time engagements.
Email is best. Tell me what you're building and where it's stuck; I'll reply with a first take and whether I'm the right fit. PKT (UTC+5), I reply within a day.
