About

I work across the whole product: interface details, application logic, APIs, data, releases and performance. My recent projects have been remote and cross-functional, often on products that already have real users and real constraints.

I studied Computer Science at FAST NUCES in Islamabad. I’m at my best when the work calls for both careful implementation and practical product judgment.
