About
I started as an electronics engineer. Then I moved into IoT and embedded systems. After that I worked as a frontend developer, then a fullstack developer. Now I build AI agents that plug into real products.
01 / How I work
1
I learn the business first
Before I write any code I learn how your business really works. Then I build around it, instead of asking you to bend around the software.
2
The AI never gets its own back door
Every AI action checks the same rules and permissions a person would use. A person confirms before anything changes.
3
I measure it before I trust it
I test what I build against real tasks, and I check safety first, then quality, then cost. A result only counts if it holds up every time, not once.
4
You see it while I build it
I build in small steps and show you progress often. You never wait until the end to find out what you are getting.
02 / Experience
7 rolesJan 2026 to now
Carbonteq
Senior Software Engineer, AI/Agentic Systems
- I owned V2MOM from start to finish. It is a goal management tool for many tenants. I worked on it from the first requirements to launch. It covers a 4 level org structure with roles and access rules, across more than 40 data tables.
- I built an AI copilot with more than 60 tools, each tied to a permission. A person must confirm before the AI changes anything. Every AI action gets checked twice: once when it is offered, and once when it runs. It uses the same checks as the normal screens.
- I built a way to test the copilot. It compares 5 models at 3 effort levels, and checks quality, safety and cost. I used it to help pick the model now in production, and it cut the cost per turn.
Sep 2023 to Dec 2025
TheHexaTown
Senior Fullstack Developer, MERN, React Native, AI, Web3
- I shipped several React Native apps that work on both iOS and Android. This included fitness and meditation apps with layered audio, an AI garden planning app that fills in your soil type from your postal code, with purchase flows, and a full chat system.
- I moved a Web3 platform from Vite to Next.js. This made it more stable. I added wallet integrations, staking, liquidity pools and a bridge for the DeFi platform. I also cut the swap time from 42 seconds to 4 seconds.
- I built an anti cheating Chrome extension. I also built a real time admin dashboard with bulk moderation tools and IndexedDB document tracking.
May 2024 to Oct 2024
PowerHouse
Sanity Developer
- I built a custom video plugin for Sanity's Portable Text editor. This made it easier to publish rich content.
- I moved an education platform from Sanity v2 to v3. The upgrade had zero downtime.
- I built scripts to bulk import data. This removed manual content work.
Mar 2023 to Oct 2023
WeTeck
Frontend Engineer (React/Next.js)
- I built a job and event management platform from scratch with React and Next.js.

Mar 2021 to Aug 2022
Freelance
Embedded and IoT Engineer
- I built robotics, IoT and automation systems with Arduino and ESP32.

05 / FAQ
Are you available for freelance work?
Yes. Freelance work comes first for me. I also take contract, part time and full time roles.
How does a project usually run?
First I learn how your business works. Then I plan the build with you and show progress often. We keep talking until the product is ready to launch.
What time zone are you in?
I live in Lahore (GMT+5), but my hours are not tied to it. I can work on US or UK time, so we meet during your workday.
What is your main stack?
I work mainly with React, Next.js, Express, Python, FastAPI and React Native. I also build backends with Node.js, Supabase, MongoDB and PostgreSQL.
Do you build AI features?
Yes. I build AI agents and copilots that plug into real products. Every AI action follows the same rules and permissions a person would use, and a person confirms changes before they happen.
How do you price a project?
Pricing depends on the scope and the timeline. I quote each project after we talk about what you need. I do not use a fixed rate card.
Do you work with clients outside Pakistan?
Yes. I work remote with clients worldwide. I have shipped web and mobile apps for teams across different time zones.
