What I'm looking for

I seek backend or full-stack roles building scalable .NET Core APIs, integrations, and data pipelines in collaborative teams that value reliability and growth.

I am a Principal Software Engineer with extensive experience building REST APIs and backend systems using .NET Core and MS SQL Server. I focus on delivering reliable integrations and services that improve operational efficiency for large systems.

At Pakistan Single Window, I developed API integrations for single declarations and export settlement solutions, collaborating with stakeholders like the State Bank and Ministry of Commerce to improve transparency and compliance.

I have strong experience in resolving production issues, building modules with Blazor and Redis, and implementing real-time features using SignalR. I also perform ETL tasks with SSIS/SSRS and build live dashboards with Power BI.

I continuously expand my skill set—working with Android (Java), MAUI, RabbitMQ microservices, and version control tools—to take on new software development challenges and contribute to scalable, maintainable systems.
