My product
Jobs Copilot
A job-search product I planned, built, and launched. It reached 200+ active users on a Next.js front and a Node, Prisma, and Postgres back.

Software engineer · Lahore, Pakistan
I build software.
Then I make it hold.
Products for the web and for phones, and the payments, permissions, and data underneath them.
I work with teams who need an engineer to own a product, not a queue of tickets. Seven years of shipping, including software I built and put in front of users myself.
- End to end, from interface to database
- Product software, not a slide deck

Web, mobile, and the systems behind them
What I build
Software, owned
end to end.
You should be able to hand me the product, not a ticket. I stay through the parts that usually slip.
- 1
The product people use
Web software from the first screen to a release someone can sign up for. I care about the path through the product, not a pile of pages.
- 2
The system underneath
Payments, permissions, integrations, and the jobs that run when nobody is watching. This is the part that decides whether a launch survives.
- 3
Software that lives in a pocket
React Native products with real installs. I have shipped mobile alongside the web, including an app that passed 20,000 downloads.
Selected software
Work that is already live.
Cloud cost software
Aithentic
Cost analytics, anomalies, and recommendations. I architected the GraphQL backend, a React 19 micro-frontend, and the shared UI the rest of the platform uses.
- React 19
- GraphQL
- TypeScript
- Node.js
Mobile product
Butter
A video app. I co-built the mobile MVP with a two-person team: 5,000 downloads in the first month, and more than 20,000 since.
- React Native
- TypeScript
- Node.js
Shipped extension
CinemaFrame
A Chrome extension I built and published. It turns the video already on a page into a cinema-sized frame, without taking over the operating system.
- Chrome
- TypeScript
Before and after
The gap is usually the software.
Before
- A demo that cannot take money or sign a user in
- Permissions and billing left until after the launch date
- A mobile app that stalls on the second screen
After we ship
- Software a customer can join and pay for
- Auth, roles, and data that match how the product actually works
- A release someone on the team can keep shipping
About
“I like software that has to survive real users.”
I am a software engineer in Lahore, Pakistan. I have spent seven years building production systems: React and React Native products, Node and .NET services, Stripe payments, and the AWS pieces that keep them up.
Some of that software is mine. Some of it belongs to the teams I work with. Either way I want the thing in people’s hands, and I want the next version to be easier to ship than the last one.
