What I'm looking for

I am looking for a dynamic work environment that fosters growth and innovation, where I can contribute to impactful projects and further develop my skills in software engineering.

I am a performance-oriented programmer with a strong foundation in software engineering, having graduated with a CGPA of 3.745 from NEDUET, Karachi. My journey in the tech world has been driven by a desire to learn and grow, exploring various programming languages and technologies. Currently, I am working as a Software Engineer at RapidCompute, where I have developed RESTful APIs using Django REST framework, enhancing the backend architecture for payment gateway integration.

During my internships, I gained hands-on experience in backend development, where I focused on improving code readability and performance. My role involved refactoring existing algorithms and developing new services, which honed my skills in Python and various web development frameworks. I am eager to continue my journey in software engineering, tackling new challenges and contributing to innovative projects.
