About Me

Currently open to opportunities

I build production AI-SaaS and payment-integrated platforms — from the backend route handlers all the way to the email automations that run after a user signs up.

Based in Lahore, Pakistan with 1+ year of professional experience across the MERN stack, Next.js, and React Native. Deployed to AWS (EC2, S3), shipped Stripe billing flows, and engineered Klaviyo + Vercel Cron email pipelines — most recently on a Next.js 16 codebase integrating OpenAI and Anthropic Claude.

What drives me: building things end-to-end. I like owning a feature from the database schema up through the React component that finally renders it. Type-safety, clean code, and reliable observability matter to me — I'd rather ship a small thing well than a big thing fragile.
