I am a Senior Software Engineer specializing in MERN stack, cloud infrastructure, and scalable systems.
PakistanWhat I'm looking for
I am a Senior Software Engineer with 6+ years building scalable, high-performance web applications across startups and contractor engagements. I focus on end-to-end delivery, from architecture and backend services to polished frontend experiences.
I have deep expertise in the MERN stack (MongoDB, Express, React, Node), GraphQL/REST APIs, and event-driven microservices. I design and deploy systems on AWS using Docker, Kubernetes, and CI/CD pipelines to ensure reliability and performance.
In recent roles I delivered measurable results: increased API throughput, reduced response times with Redis caching, cut frontend bundle sizes, and raised test coverage to 90%+. I also refactored legacy systems and reduced technical debt while improving observability with New Relic and Datadog.
I mentor junior engineers, lead architecture and code-review discussions, and actively participate in agile ceremonies. I enjoy solving complex problems, driving cross-team collaboration, and shipping products that align with business goals.
