A short campaign log — roles, side quests, and the CS main quest still mid-run. Spoiler: I keep shipping anyway.
Current save file: building in public
Not a sterile CV dump — more like the lore between projects. Freelance chaos, studio sprints, and university theory that somehow became working software. If a chapter sounds fun, it was. If it sounds hard, it was also fun (after the merge).

“Boss fight: shipping alone”
Self-Employed
Freelance Software Engineer
Islamabad, Pakistan
- Python
- LangChain
- OpenAI
- WebSockets
- Trading APIs
- Flutter
- Next.js
This chapter is where the training arc turns into real clients, weird briefs at midnight, and products that have to work outside my laptop. AI pipelines, trading desks, campus apps — if it needs to ship and someone is nervous about it, I probably grinned and opened VS Code.
- Built AI content automation (Python, LangChain, OpenAI) that cut manual production time by ~70% — less copy-paste, more “wait, it already finished?”
- Shipped real-time TTS/STT voice software with WebSocket streaming so audio feels live, not like a voicemail from 2012.
- Engineered ML-assisted trading systems with live market ingestion, risk awareness, and automated execution — because manual clicking at 9:30 a.m. is a sport I refuse to play.
- Delivered 25+ client products across web, mobile, and automation — many behind NDAs, a few loud enough to put on this site.

“Studio mode: pixels & deadlines”
DEVCIR
Web Developer
Pakistan
- React
- Webflow
- REST APIs
- CSS
- Performance
Agency energy, sprint boards, and the sacred ritual of “can we ship this Friday?” I learned to balance pretty interfaces with APIs that don’t ghost you — and to care about retention the way designers care about kerning.
- Built and maintained React and Webflow apps with a obsession for performance, polish, and users who actually come back.
- Integrated third-party REST APIs and turned messy payloads into calm UI states (loading, error, success — the holy trinity).
- Shipped pixel-accurate responsive layouts on sprint deadlines without treating “mobile” as an afterthought screenshot.
- Leveled up collaborative shipping: reviews, handoffs, and explaining tradeoffs without making people’s eyes glaze over.
[ Pro tip unlocked ]
If the client says “just a small change,” budget three hours and one existential spiral.

“Main quest: CS degree”
Air University
B.S. Computer Science
Islamabad, Pakistan
- DSA
- OOP
- AI
- Flutter
- C++
- Databases
Still mid-campaign at Air University — lectures by day, side quests by night. UniBuzz and the Chess engine weren’t just assignments; they were proof that theory only counts when the board renders and the login doesn’t panic.
- Deep coursework across DSA, AI, databases, software engineering, networks, and OOP — the boring-sounding foundation that secretly saves every demo day.
- Shipped university builds like UniBuzz (Flutter + Firebase campus ops) and a full C++/SFML chess game with real rules, not vibes-based pieces.
- Treated every project as a portfolio seed: architecture, UX, and a story I can still explain without sweating.
- Balancing degree progress with freelance delivery — because sleep is a myth and Git commits are forever.

Got a product that needs shipping, an AI idea that refuses to stay a slide deck, or a quiet NDA project that still deserves craft? I’m around — resume linked, GitHub open, inbox friendly.
