01 · About

Engineer first, generalist by design.

I'm a full stack engineer based in Lahore with 4.5+ years of experience shipping real products — e-commerce platforms, quote engines, and content systems that businesses run on every day. My core strength is owning a feature end-to-end: database schema, API design, frontend UX, and deployment.

I care about the things that don't show up in screenshots: clean code that the next developer can read, queries that stay fast as data grows, and backend architecture that doesn't fall over when traffic does. On the frontend I obsess over performance budgets and the small interactions that make a product feel finished.

When I'm not shipping client work, I'm studying software architecture, experimenting with new stacks (currently Flutter + NestJS + Convex), and writing about web development. Continuous learning isn't a buzzword for me — it's how a PHP developer ends up fluent in five frameworks.

  • Software architecture
  • Performance optimization
  • Continuous learning
  • Web dev blogging

03 · Projects

Real products, live in production.

Not demos — these are platforms businesses run on today. Hover any card for the engineering story behind it.

tinmakers.com

The quote system was the hard part — wholesale buyers configure shape, size, finish, and quantity, and the backend prices each combination dynamically. Product imagery is offloaded to Firebase storage so the catalog stays fast even with thousands of high-resolution images.

Tinmakers2024

Live Site

A wholesale custom tin packaging platform where businesses browse products by shape and industry, request custom quotes, and order at scale. Built end-to-end: catalog, quoting engine, and full e-commerce flow.

Integrated Firebase storage for high-volume image uploads

  • Next.js
  • Laravel
  • PostgreSQL
  • Firebase
  • Tailwind CSS
print247.us

Printing products don't have fixed prices — cost depends on dimensions, material, finish, and quantity tiers. I built a pricing engine in Laravel that resolves all of these per configuration, exposed through a REST API the Next.js storefront consumes in real time as the customer builds their product.

Print2472023

Live Site

An e-commerce platform for a US printing & packaging company — product catalog, shopping cart, order management, and a custom product builder that lets customers configure their own packaging.

Built scalable product catalog with dynamic pricing engine

  • Next.js
  • Laravel
  • React
  • MySQL
  • REST APIs
colorwing.com

Instead of hardcoding marketing pages, every section is a content block managed in a Laravel admin (Inertia.js) and queried via GraphQL from the Next.js frontend. New landing pages ship in minutes, not deploys.

Colorwing2023

Live Site

Marketing site for a web technology company, with a fully dynamic content layer — the team edits pages, case studies, and service offerings without touching code.

Dynamic CMS-driven pages over GraphQL with zero hardcoded content

  • Next.js
  • Laravel
  • GraphQL
  • Inertia.js
  • PostgreSQL
custommylarbags.us

Orders draw from live inventory, so the Laravel backend reconciles stock across product variants on every purchase and flags low-stock items for reorder — the client stopped overselling the day it launched.

Custom Mylar Bags2023

Live Site

E-commerce platform for a US packaging company specializing in custom mylar bags — modern responsive storefront backed by inventory management and order processing.

Inventory-aware ordering with automated stock reconciliation

  • Next.js
  • Laravel
  • Bootstrap
  • PostgreSQL
launching-2025

My current side project — exploring offline-first patterns and real-time sync. Launching 2025.

Expenset2025

Coming Soon

An expense tracking SaaS built with Flutter for mobile, NestJS for the API layer, and Convex for real-time sync. Currently in active development.

Real-time multi-device sync with offline-first architecture

  • Flutter
  • NestJS
  • Convex

04 · Experience

4.5+ years of shipping.

From first Laravel CRUD to owning full-stack platforms for international clients.

    • Shipped 4 production e-commerce and marketing platforms (Print247, Tinmakers, Colorwing, Custom Mylar Bags) serving international clients in the US packaging industry.
    • Designed and built a dynamic pricing engine for configurable print products, replacing manual quoting and cutting quote turnaround from days to seconds.
    • Architected a GraphQL-backed content management layer that lets non-technical teams publish landing pages without developer involvement.
    • Own features end-to-end — database schema, Laravel APIs, Next.js frontends, and deployment — across the full client portfolio.

Let's build something.

I'm currently open to freelance projects, contract work, and full-time remote roles with international teams. If you have a product to build — or an existing one that needs a senior pair of hands — let's talk.
