What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a QA-focused role where I can own end-to-end testing, drive edge-case coverage, collaborate on requirements with product and enterprise clients, and help improve reliability in fast-moving healthcare or SaaS systems.

I'm a Software Engineering graduate (CGPA 3.46, LGU 2025) currently working as the sole QA Engineer at Khired Networks on a live UK-based NHS pharmacy SaaS platform. Over 13+ months I've built the entire QA function from scratch — test plans, SOPs, edge-case scenario documentation (50+), Cypress automation (AI-assisted), and direct enterprise client communication with a UK client for ~6 months.

I expanded into BA territory: requirement gathering, acceptance criteria, GitLab ticket ownership, and blocking a compliance-risk feature before it entered development. I proposed a formula for NHS NMS cut-off date calculation that's now in production.

I'm also the founder of FSTIVO — a 500+ member community through which I've organized 15+ events with audiences up to 900+ attendees, including the Pharma Innovative Summit (300+) and Web3 Pakistan Conference (700+).

Looking for QA, BA, PM Coordinator, or Product Ops roles — remote or Lahore-based. Open to healthcare, SaaS, fintech, and AI-adjacent product teams.
