I build AI, blockchain, and tokenization products from strategy through production delivery.

At Walee, I own end-to-end product for AskWalee and WireFluid, Pakistan's first EVM-compliant chain. I built and shipped AskWalee singlehandedly as an OpenRouter-powered chatbot using Claude Code, Claude Design, and Railway.

I guide engineering and marketing execution, run release reviews, set platform KPIs, and align roadmaps with measurable outcomes. I'm also establishing an AI-native product-management practice, including LLM token budgets and engineering usage policies.

At Invozone, I architected and shipped Graysen.ai, a UAE-law AI platform with grounded search, citation, contract analysis, and legal-document generation. I also designed AI/ML and MLOps systems, agentic workflows, EVM DApps, cross-chain protocols, and blockchain infrastructure using Substrate and Frontier.

My background spans product management, solutions architecture, developer relations, blockchain research, and iOS development. I've built DEXs and NFT smart contracts, worked with 50+ blockchains, led technical teams, and delivered REST APIs and full-stack integrations.
