My Journey So Far
From building scalable software to engineering AI-powered solutions.
Full-stack Software Engineer with 5+ years of experience building cross-platform mobile, web, and desktop applications and, more recently, production AI/LLM-powered systems. Deep expertise in Flutter and Dart, with additional cross-platform mobile experience in Expo and React Native, desktop development with Electron, and hands-on backend experience in Node.js, Nest.js, Express, and Next.js. Over the past two years I have shifted into building AI-integrated products — RAG pipelines, multi-provider LLM orchestration (Claude, OpenAI, ElevenLabs), and workflow automation platforms using n8n — alongside continued Flutter/mobile delivery. I focus on scalable architecture, clean code, and shipping features end-to-end, from UI to database to third-party integrations. Known for mentoring developers, automating repetitive business workflows, and translating ambiguous requirements into working production systems.

Full-Stack Software Engineer & AI Product Engineer / Team Lead
Techtiz | Township, Lahore
Orient Champions
- Challenge
- Inherited a live, poorly-built field-sales platform — dead code, no state management, hardcoded data — with daily client bug calls.
- Solution
- Refactored the React Native + Nest.js codebase, added Redux, rebuilt the cron pipeline, and fixed push notifications and the App Updater.
- Impact
- Cut bug reports by ~90% — the client now calls about new features, not fixes.
NebuFit
- Challenge
- Fitness apps lean on generic templates, not real user data.
- Solution
- Built an AI coaching app with computer vision, RAG, and multi-provider AI orchestration.
- Impact
- Shipped a production-ready platform with resilient uptime and monetization.
Lead Response Automation
- Challenge
- Lead response automation was split across three disconnected vendors, and stalled leads or underperforming agents went unnoticed for days.
- Solution
- Consolidated onto Aloware's native voice/SMS bots with temperature-based lead routing, OpenAI call QA, and an automated deposit-to-revenue pipeline.
- Impact
- One unified conversation thread per lead, with funnel leaks, coaching gaps, and deposits all reconciling automatically.
Creative OS
- Challenge
- Writers needed an AI partner that remembers their work, not a chatbot that forgets it every session.
- Solution
- Built Creative OS as a local-first AI operating system — not a chatbot — with RAG search and an MCP server architecture.
- Impact
- Gave writers persistent AI editing and search that stays entirely on their machine.
AGENTC — Agentic Job Discovery Automation
- Challenge
- The client's Selenium-based decision-maker scraper across four niches was expensive and fragile, running $600–800/month.
- Solution
- Replaced Selenium with Apify actors, orchestrating the nightly pipeline in n8n with Hunter.io, ZeroBounce, and Clearout Phone.
- Impact
- Brought monthly cost into the client's $200–300 target while covering four full niches every night.
Capital Shack — Document OCR Processing
- Challenge
- Manually reviewing, categorizing, filing, and cross-referencing every incoming client document into spreadsheets was slow, repetitive, and error-prone at volume.
- Solution
- Built two linked Google Apps Script automations — one files and logs every emailed document, the other runs each attachment through Document AI to classify and extract its data.
- Impact
- Eliminated manual document triage and data entry entirely, so every incoming document is consistently categorized, filed, and logged.
Client confidentiality prevents sharing screenshots or product media for this project.
Case Study
Ramirez Legal Group — ClickUp Dashboard Sync
- Challenge
- ClickUp case data and the Emergent Labs client-facing dashboard had to be kept in sync by hand.
- Solution
- Built a Zapier pipeline that syncs ClickUp case and client updates to the Emergent Labs dashboard automatically.
- Impact
- Keeps the case tracker and dashboard continuously synchronized, with zero duplicate manual entry.
UNITY Desktop App & Admin Portal
- Challenge
- A healthcare organisation needed one desktop tool unifying browsing, credentials, and patient calls, plus an admin layer to reconfigure each role.
- Solution
- Built an Electron + Nest.js desktop app with per-role dynamic navigation, credential auto-fill, and a Next.js/Nest.js admin portal for drag-and-drop role config.
- Impact
- Delivered one unified, role-aware desktop tool with centrally-configurable navigation and permissions.
Linked Golf
- Challenge
- Inherited a live, poorly-built app — tightly coupled Bloc state, broken chat, dead backend code — with issues across every core screen.
- Solution
- Refactored the Bloc/backend, fixed chat and applink bugs, and added event creation, Stripe subscriptions, and OTP team joins.
- Impact
- Delivered a faster, stable app plus a new paid-event flow for golf-course owners.
Exodus App
- Challenge
- Blue Sky needed a full rebrand to its new Exodus identity, and syncing health vitals from a wearable device into the app was slow and often failed.
- Solution
- Delivered a full rebrand from Blue Sky to Exodus, and packaged the wearable's vitals SDK into the app build to replace a failure-prone per-scan API call.
- Impact
- Relaunched under its new identity with faster, more reliable wearable vitals syncing.
Social Media Posting Automation
- Challenge
- Needed a steady posting cadence across six platforms without hand-written captions, token babysitting, or unreviewed AI copy going live.
- Solution
- Built five linked n8n workflows plus per-platform Cloud Functions for AI caption drafting, human approval, minute-precise scheduling, publishing, token refresh, and OAuth callbacks.
- Impact
- Replaced manual posting and token upkeep with a pipeline where the only manual step left is approving AI-drafted copy.
Outreach Email Classification Automation
- Challenge
- Every outreach reply had to be read by hand to tell an interested prospect from a bounce or unsubscribe, and n8n's native Gmail polling gave no way to filter or rate-limit it.
- Solution
- Built a Google Apps Script Gmail poller that filters and rate-limits replies into an n8n pipeline, which classifies each with Gemini and posts a status notification to Slack.
- Impact
- Replaced manual inbox triage with automatic, rate-safe classification and instant Slack visibility.
Zendesk AI Support Automation
- Challenge
- Agents were piecing together ticket, call, and conversation context by hand before every reply.
- Solution
- Built three linked n8n workflows for OCR-and-AI ticket analysis, call transcription, and history-aware reply drafting.
- Impact
- Every ticket, call, and conversation now gets an instant AI-drafted summary and reply logged into Zendesk.
Techtiz Corporate Website
- Challenge
- Needed a large multi-vertical marketing site — services, industries, a separate government audience, and a blog — migrated off a legacy static site without duplicating markup.
- Solution
- Built the site in Astro with a two-tier page system, an isolated SLED experience, and a WordPress-backed blog that publishes without a redeploy.
- Impact
- Delivered a maintainable, SEO-optimized site where new pages follow a documented pattern and content publishes without a code deploy.
ATTN Agency Homepage
- Challenge
- Client needed a fully native, on-brand homepage inside Go High Level — not an embedded page or iframe — built from the builder's own elements.
- Solution
- Built the homepage entirely with Go High Level's native builder elements, using Google Gemini to generate custom visual assets the component library doesn't provide.
- Impact
- A homepage that reads like a custom build while staying fully native to Go High Level, easy for the client's own team to keep editing.
Kumquat — Talent Match
- Challenge
- Needed a proven starting point for skill-sharing and consultation-booking apps instead of building 81 screens from a blank canvas.
- Solution
- Built and published Kumquat, an 81-page FlutterFlow template covering booking, payments, chat, and video calling.
- Impact
- Published as a reusable FlutterFlow Marketplace starting point for coaching, tutoring, and telehealth apps — 577 downloads to date.
Foodii — Recipe Book
- Challenge
- Needed a ready-made starting point for recipe apps, with a nested recipe/chef data model and no live backend to build against yet.
- Solution
- Built and published Foodii, a FlutterFlow template with custom Data Types, a shared component library, and App State variables simulating backend data.
- Impact
- Published as a backend-ready FlutterFlow Marketplace template — connecting real Firestore later needs minimal rework — 537 downloads to date.
