Software Engineer III • Java Full-Stack • Cloud & AI Systems
I don't just write code. I build systems that scale to millions, cost less, and keep working when everything else fails.
My Story
I started as a junior engineer in 2022 with a simple obsession: build systems that do not fail when the stakes are high. Four years later, my code has helped deliver housing relief to over 50,000 flood-affected families in Sindh through the USAID-backed SPHF initiative, strengthened banking operations at Bank-al-Habib, and powered product registration for millions of users across Panasonic Europe's platforms. Along the way, I led optimizations that cut AWS costs by 60% without sacrificing performance.
Today, I work as a Software Engineer III while leading backend development for a live retail intelligence platform, and I'm pursuing thesis-level AI/NLP research at NED University focused on Sindhi question-answering for low-resource languages. I build for banking, retail, humanitarian, and enterprise clients across 8+ countries with a focus on scale, cost efficiency, and resilience — treating every system as a human promise, not just a technical deliverable.

Cost Reduction
Reliability is respect. I design systems that survive spikes, outages, and last-minute launches without breaking.
Scalability is a strategy, not a buzzword. Architecture should grow without exploding budget or complexity.
Client success comes first. I deliver with clarity, ownership, and a bias for measurable outcomes.
Professional Journey
Leading backend modernization for SPHF and BYILD LMS using Java 17, Spring Boot 3, and AWS. Upgraded legacy systems, optimized MSSQL queries, and resolved architectural issues that strengthened resilience for humanitarian-scale delivery.
Impact: 50,000+ families served.
Built secure e-commerce services with TypeScript, NestJS, and PostgreSQL, deploying on AWS with CI/CD pipelines for rapid, reliable releases.
Led backend systems for Panasonic Europe, delivering fault- tolerant Angular + Spring MVC microservices and boosting product catalog accuracy while accelerating updates by 40%.
Impact: Millions of users supported.
Engineered core banking modules using Java 17 and Quarkus, deploying microservices with Docker and Kubernetes while collaborating across QA, frontend, and DevOps teams.
Enhanced performance for digital wallet systems like NayaPay by implementing modern backend practices in Spring Boot.
Thesis focus: Sindhi question-answering system for low-resource NLP, combining AI/ML research with applied language technology.
