Full-stack web developer, 13+ years. WordPress, WooCommerce, PHP, React. Shipped enterprise sites for Coca-Cola, Mercedes-Benz, Unilever, and GSK.
What I'm looking for
I'm a full-stack web developer with 13+ years in digital agencies, currently at Digitz in Karachi. I've delivered 30+ end-to-end web projects for Coca-Cola, Toyota, Mercedes-Benz Middle East, Unilever, GSK (Haleon), L'Oréal, and Tetra Pak, owning them from wireframe through deployment and handover.
Most of my work sits in the WordPress and WooCommerce stack: custom themes, ACF-driven Gutenberg blocks that let marketing teams build pages without a developer, WooCommerce storefronts, and third-party API integrations. I also build with React, Next.js, Node.js, PHP, MySQL, and MongoDB, and handle the analytics layer myself (GA4, GTM, conversion tracking) so clients can actually measure what ships.
I spent two years in Dubai at Socialize Agency and have worked with distributed teams and clients across the Middle East, Europe, and North America. I'm comfortable owning a project solo, working async, and translating vague brand requirements into a scoped, shippable build.
I'm looking for a remote role where I can own frontend or full-stack delivery for a product or agency team.
