Years in production

Real roles shipping real products—from discovery and architecture to release and upkeep.

01

Full Stack Developer

Vaster Holding · Dubai, UAE

I design and deliver custom business software for several related companies—replacing expensive off-the-shelf tools where it saves money and fits how teams actually work.

What I worked on

  • Built an in-house project management system to replace Odoo, which cut ongoing costs across those businesses.
  • Mapped out an AI-assisted ERP in phases: what to build first, how pieces connect, and what integrations we need.
  • Worked with leadership on realistic timelines, database structure, and the big-picture architecture.
  • Juggled multiple client projects, helped junior developers grow, and kept stakeholders updated.
  • Sat with clients to capture requirements, then shipped websites, CRMs, and ERP features using React, Next.js, Vue, Node.js, and NestJS.
  • Added AI helpers with Vercel’s AI SDK and LangChain—including answers based on the company’s own documents—for web and CRM workflows.
02

Full-Stack Developer

Chum Bazaar Technology · Dubai, UAE

I helped rebuild a large UAE travel site (1.6M+ users) so it feels faster on phones, shows up better in search, and connects cleanly to booking and marketing tools.

What I worked on

  • Rebuilt Chum.ae with Next.js and Tailwind so pages load faster, SEO improved, and Core Web Vitals scores strengthened.
  • Integrated Skyscanner and Expedia for bookings, plus Facebook and TikTok pixels so marketing could measure performance.
  • Added Jest tests on important user flows so changes were less likely to break production.
  • Shipped layouts that work well on mobile and across browsers, with snappier perceived load.
  • Delivered on time roughly 95% of the time while participating actively in Scrum.
03

Software Engineer

Contrivers · Pakistan

I built internal CRM-style web apps so admins and operators could manage customers and day-to-day work without fighting the software.

What I worked on

  • Delivered CRM products with React, Next.js, MUI, NestJS, and MySQL for real admin and ops teams.
  • Moved backends from Flask to NestJS to scale more cleanly and plug in phone/SMS/email providers (RingCentral, Twilio, SendGrid).
  • Prioritized security, automated tests, and pull requests that teammates could review with confidence.
  • Owned full-stack delivery on the SOAANZ initiative while keeping architecture decisions explicit and shared.
04

Frontend Developer

Digital Nexus · Pakistan

I built banking dashboards and payment-related flows—focused on clarity for users and stability when money is involved.

What I worked on

  • Shipped dashboards and live analytics screens with React and Next.js.
  • Connected Stripe for payments and WhatsApp for messaging, while keeping layouts usable on small screens and for assistive tech.
  • Put CI/CD in place with GitHub Actions and Jenkins so releases were repeatable.
