What I'm looking for

I seek senior technical or leadership roles building full‑stack, embedded, or mobile systems with emphasis on performance, UX, HIPAA compliance, and mentoring teams.

I am a senior software and firmware developer with 15+ years of experience building web, desktop, embedded, and mobile applications. I hold a Bachelor of Engineering (position holder) from NED University, Karachi, and bring strong system-level understanding to application design.

I have led teams and projects across contractual engagements and in-house roles, delivering solutions in .NET, Python/Django, PHP/Laravel, Node.js, and Flutter. I optimize performance for resource-limited systems and focus on visually engaging user interfaces.

My work spans cloud, microservices, AI/ML, medical/HIPAA-related apps, and DevOps tooling, including AWS, Azure, Docker, ELK, Prometheus, and Grafana. I have experience with firmware and embedded systems using C/C++ and assembly from earlier roles.

I seek challenging development and technical leadership roles where I can apply cross-stack expertise, mentor teams, and drive delivery of scalable, secure, and user-focused products.
