I build cool stuff fast.
And keep it locked in.

I build React Native and MERN apps end to end, from schema decisions to App Store launch day. Top 3% on TryHackMe, so I naturally think security-first, and I love adding AI to real developer workflows where it actually saves time.

Ships fast

Comfortable owning a feature from schema to shipped build - no hand-holding required.

Security-first

Top 3% on TryHackMe globally. I think about attack surface before it becomes an incident.

AI-enabled workflows

I build the tools I wish existed - from AI test generators to MCP-powered dashboards.

Who I am, what I build, and where I learned the craft.

I'm based in Rawalpindi, Pakistan, currently finishing my CS degree while working professionally - so I've learned to context-switch fast between coursework and production code.
