What I'm looking for

I'm open to Pakistan-based roles and worldwide remote opportunities where I can build and ship production mobile, web, or desktop products end to end.

I've built production mobile, web, and desktop products for a confidential AI desktop startup, Vtech, Falcon Consulting, Vizz Web Solutions, and Cognitive Healthcare International. My work spans real-time AI copilots, restaurant ordering, mobility, telemedicine, and data-extraction tools.

At the AI desktop startup, I delivered a real-time Electron copilot with Deepgram, LiveKit, WebSockets, secure IPC, and native OS integrations. I also built a cross-platform Google Maps scraping application using Puppeteer and Cheerio.

I've improved products for tens of thousands of users by reducing crashes by 40%, API calls by 40%, backend response times by 50%, and increasing booking conversion by 25%. I enjoy owning features from implementation through release across React Native, React, Node.js, and TypeScript.
