Software Engineer · Islamabad, Pakistan
I design and build production software across the stack — web platforms, backend services, payments, auth, and cloud.
Full-stack engineer with 4+ years shipping products in fintech, mobility, travel, and compliance for teams in the UAE, KSA, and US. Currently at VentureDive. I work spec-first and test-first — versioned specs become reviewed plans and tested code.

Production platforms I've built and shipped for clients across fintech, mobility, travel, and compliance.
US ride-hailing · operations console
A 20-module back-office over six Spring Boot microservices behind AWS API Gateway. I build frontend modules end to end — typed services, React Query hooks, business rules, permission-gated UI — sustaining ≥90% test coverage against an enforced CI gate.
UAE social-dining marketplace
Designed and shipped the marketplace backend as eight domain modules — restaurants, bookings, a loyalty ledger, reviews, RBAC — plus per-seat payments and automated payouts via Stripe Connect, and the operations admin console.
KSA on-demand helicopter booking
A seven-step booking engine on Next.js Server Components with an idempotent BFF that eliminates duplicate charges. Bilingual EN/AR (RTL), multi-tenant Firebase auth with OTP 2FA, and Moyasar + Apple Pay.
Aviation compliance & audit lifecycle
Reports and findings flows, document uploads, and threaded comments on audit actions, behind CASL permission-gated UI. Shipped one reusable data table — filtering, sorting, URL-synced pagination — adopted by every listing module.
UAE professional-networking platform
Super Admin and Partner dashboards supporting 50+ onboarded companies, with platform-wide Stripe payments and a chat UI built from scratch on the Sendbird SDK, including multimedia sharing.
Public, MIT-licensed reference implementations of patterns I use in production — each typed, tested, and CI-gated.
Authentication behind a swappable identity provider — real AWS Cognito or an in-memory mock — with JWT, refresh, and RBAC guards. Runs with no AWS account.
A module-first React 19 admin console: permission-gated lazy routes, TanStack Query over one HTTP client, per-module MSW mocking, i18n, and theming.
A Next.js BFF that creates orders idempotently: idempotency keys, duplicate-charge protection under concurrency, and server-side repricing. Stripe or a mock.
A reusable template for spec-driven, AI-assisted development: engineering standards, spec and plan templates, and a fully worked example of the flow.
71 accepted LeetCode solutions organized by pattern, each with the approach and time/space complexity, plus a pytest suite that runs the examples.
A task-management API in FastAPI + SQLAlchemy 2.0 — environment-based config, bcrypt password hashing, and a users/tasks REST API with proper error handling.
Requirements become versioned specs — user stories, acceptance criteria, business rules, an error catalogue, and an API contract — before any code.
Every acceptance criterion and catalogued error maps to a test. Coverage is a floor, not a goal; CI gates lint, types, and tests.
Plans are produced and reviewed against the spec before execution — AI-assisted with Claude Code, with judgement kept at the spec and review gates.
Full-stack delivery on production platforms — the projects above across ride-hailing, social dining, air mobility, aviation compliance, and professional networking — with a spec-first, test-first workflow.
Shipped web apps across the stack: an employee-review platform (RAPP), a social video platform with live streaming (InCast), and a goal-tracking social app (4wrdTogether). React, Node, Python, Ruby on Rails.
Delivered products end to end for clients: a drag-and-drop dynamic form builder (Convify) and a real-time clinic appointment-booking site (Synergy Primary Clinic).
Foundations in algorithms, data structures, databases, and software engineering.
