I am a software engineer specializing in React and Django, building scalable user-focused web applications.
What I'm looking for
I am a Full Stack Software Engineer with over 4 years of professional experience specializing in React.js, Django, and modern web technologies. My career journey reflects a strong commitment to building scalable, efficient, and user-friendly applications while delivering real business value to clients and companies.
Currently, I am working at Sozie, Lahore, a user-generated content platform partnered with major retailers like Target and Walmart. At Sozie, I have led the development of a role-based React.js portal with multiple dashboards, ensuring accessibility and seamless performance across browsers. I also contributed significantly to the backend using Django REST Framework, developing RESTful APIs, integrating WebSockets for real-time updates, and Elasticsearch for optimized search. My efforts improved both usability and performance, while also implementing analytics with Google Analytics 4 to track and enhance user behavior insights.
Before Sozie, I worked as a React Developer at InTechGiants, where I designed pixel-perfect interfaces, implemented PWAs, optimized web app performance through caching and service workers, and contributed to diverse projects, including e-commerce and online examination systems. My career started with an internship at 29 Concepts, where I learned React.js, Redux, and modern JavaScript frameworks, building portfolio projects that laid a strong foundation for my career.
In addition to my professional experience, I have built personal and portfolio projects such as:
Crypto Details (Next.js + Binance API) – a web app for calculating profit and loss on cryptocurrencies.
Trade Zilla (Django DRF + AWS) – a backend platform for trading used items, with RESTful APIs and PostgreSQL integration.
My technical skills include advanced expertise in React.js, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, and Git, with intermediate knowledge of Django, DRF, PostgreSQL, Next.js, and Google Analytics 4, and working knowledge of AWS and Node.js.
Beyond my technical background, I am recognized for my teamwork, problem-solving, and attention to detail. I enjoy mentoring teammates, discussing UX/UI improvements, and optimizing development workflows to enhance user experience.
Outside of work, I am passionate about sports (cricket, table tennis, snooker), traveling, gaming, and continuously learning new skills to stay ahead in technology trends.
