Senior Software Engineer • Computer Engineer
Computer Engineer & Software Developer focused on backend systems, mobile apps and automation. I build products that scale, reduce costs and increase revenue.
Quick facts: 3+ years experience • 7+ apps delivered • Worked with teams and clients across Pakistan.
Designed and implemented APIs serving 10,000+ students. Reduced average response time from ~800ms to ~150ms through query tuning and Redis caching. Integrated Stripe & subscription flow increasing successful payment rate.
Delivered 7 Flutter apps (e-commerce, learning, chat). Focused on performance, secure auth and push notifications. Clients reported +25% engagement post-launch.
Worked on API integration, UI fixes and QA reducing crashes by ~15% in a sprint.
Built scalable RESTful APIs for a multi-tenant learning platform. Responsibilities: schema design, query optimization, caching (Redis), pagination, authentication, and monitoring.
Impact: Reduced average response time from ~800ms to ~150ms and lowered DB cost by optimizing heavy joins and adding read replicas.
Tech: Node.js • PostgreSQL • Redis • Docker
Flutter app for local vendors with maps, push notifications, and Stripe payments. I implemented secure checkout, inventory sync, and progressive enhancements for slow networks.
Impact: Vendors reported 25% increase in sales in first 3 months after launch.
Tech: Flutter • Firebase • Stripe
Python scripts and cron jobs for DB backups, third-party API syncs and reporting pipelines. Added logging, retry logic and alerts for failures.
Impact: Reduced manual maintenance time by ~60% and improved data freshness for analytics.
Tech: Python • Bash • AWS S3
Full-stack platform with adaptive learning paths and real-time quizzes. I led the team and implemented core API and frontend components.
Impact: Won university innovation award and used by 200+ students during pilot semester.
Tech: Node.js • React • PostgreSQL
Problem: Slow queries causing timeouts for peak traffic, high DB costs.
Approach: Analyzed slow queries, added proper indexes, introduced Redis caching, paginated heavy endpoints and used read replicas for analytics workloads.
Outcome: Response time reduced from ~800ms to ~150ms, increased uptime during peak, and lower DB CPU usage — measurable cost savings.
Problem: Checkout failures and poor performance on low-end devices.
Approach: Implemented robust payment flows, optimized image delivery, implemented offline-first patterns and background sync.
Outcome: Reduced checkout errors, improved performance and vendor sales rose by 25% in 3 months.
