About me

I started building Android apps in 2015 and never stopped. Over 11 years I've gone from contributing to telecom apps with tens of millions of users to building a digital bank's mobile app from scratch, leading a team shipping AI checkout kiosks across 7 markets, and running my own freelance practice with 7,000+ billed hours for clients across the US and Europe.

What I care about: apps that hold up in production. That means clean architecture, real security, honest testing, and release pipelines that make shipping boring, in the best way. I've been on Flutter since the beta and still write native Kotlin and Swift when the job calls for it.

I'm based in Islamabad, work remotely with teams worldwide, and I'm open to full-time roles, willing to relocate for the right opportunity.
