About
“I'm a senior full-stack engineer based in Lahore with 4+ years of experience designing and shipping production SaaS platforms, AI-powered applications and scalable backend systems.
I like owning a product end to end — architecture, development, deployment and maintenance — and leaving behind code the next engineer is happy to inherit. I'm open to remote work worldwide.

What I do
From model to interface
I take products end to end — the data model, the API, the AI layer and the pixels people touch.
AI integration
RAG pipelines, semantic search, voice agents and LLM features that hold up in production — not just in a demo.
Full-stack products
Next.js and Nest.js applications with clean architecture, typed end to end and fast by default.
APIs & integrations
REST, GraphQL and tRPC services, webhooks, queues and third-party CRM or payment integrations.
Data modelling
PostgreSQL and MongoDB schemas, indexing and query tuning with Prisma or Drizzle.
Interface engineering
Responsive, accessible UIs with careful typography, motion and attention to detail.
Cloud & delivery
Docker and AWS deployments with GitHub Actions CI/CD pipelines that make shipping boring.

Stop Flattening Your PDFs: Document Intelligence and Structural Chunking for RAG and Agents
Many RAG failures that look like model problems are ingestion problems. If a parser flattens a PDF into a stream of characters and a splitter cuts that stream every 1,000 characters, the best embedding model and the best LLM are working with debris.
