01 / About

A senior engineer who ships.

I've spent the last seven years building production web systems. For an Australian platform handling a million orders a week, for Fragtopgaver.dk in Denmark (live for years) and VoxiVoice in Italy (in progress), and for two hundred-plus more freelance clients across forty countries.

I care about clean architecture, fast feedback loops, and code other people can read. Most of my work sits at the intersection of .NET microservices, React TypeScript, and AWS / Azure, and increasingly, AI agents integrated into the same systems.

I'm available for both short scopes and long-term partnerships. If you have something complicated and want it done properly, I'd like to hear about it.

03 / Experience

Where I've worked.

July 2025 - Present
Full-time

Senior Consultant (Software Development)

Systems Limited, Hybrid - Islamabad, PK

  • Still on Flexischools, now on the .NET 9 stack. Beyond the .NET / React / AWS work, I've added PostgreSQL and MySQL to my day-to-day, write our Azure DevOps YAML pipelines, and ship Firebase-backed pieces where it makes sense.
  • AI is a much bigger part of my workflow now. GitHub Copilot and Claude Code are both daily drivers. I led our Copilot rollout initiative internally, getting the team onboarded and productive on it, and I'm a key member of the AI committee at Flexischools helping decide how we use these tools responsibly across the platform.
