Full-Stack Engineer
React, Next.js, TypeScript, Node.js · Multi-tenant SaaS · AI integrations

I'm a full-stack engineer with 5+ years of experience shipping production web applications for UK and US teams, much of it alongside a BSc in Computer Science. I work end to end: React and Next.js front ends, Node.js REST and GraphQL APIs, PostgreSQL, multi-tenant SaaS with role-based access control, real-time WebRTC features, CI/CD and LLM integrations.

I'm the Founder & Lead Engineer at North Foundry, a small software studio.

Open to full-time engineering roles: remote (contract or employer of record) or relocation. Based in Lahore, UTC+5, with daily overlap with UK/EU and US teams.

Code · Live app (a demo login is shown on the sign-in page)

• License-plate OCR opens a parking session, and drivers authorize their exit with device-bound WebAuthn passkeys, so fingerprint and face checks stay on the phone.
• Sessions are a state machine with duplicate-entry rejection, capacity enforcement and an audit log of every gate action and admin override.
• Django REST Framework on Oracle Cloud, Next.js and TypeScript on Vercel.

Code · Android release

• Mood tracking, journaling, guided breathing, a biometric app lock and an AI companion that references the user's own entries.
• Safety is enforced server-side in layers: all inference routes through the Express backend, risk is classified before generation, crisis escalation takes the conversation away from the model, and every route is rate limited.
• React Native, Expo, Node.js, Express, Firebase Authentication, Groq.

Code · Live app

• Chat, tasks, documents, meetings and AI summaries in one multi-tenant workspace, built from an existing design during a contract role (Oct 2025 to Jun 2026). The product is now part of North Foundry.
• Real-time team chat and video calling on Convex live queries and WebRTC, with AI meeting summaries returned as validated structured JSON.
• Organization-level RBAC, tenant data isolation and plan-based usage limits across four subscription tiers.

Code · Live site

• Performance and architecture work on a React Three Fiber scene: route-level code splitting with idle prefetch, a separate Three.js vendor chunk, canvases that stop rendering when offscreen, and a self-hosted model decoder and fonts so no third-party request sits in front of first paint.
• The README documents each decision, the measured bundle sizes and the trade-offs, and credits the tutorial and models the scene started from.

A few results from that work:

• Delivered web and SaaS projects for 12+ clients at North Foundry, including the PeakHawks marketing platform on Next.js 15, Sanity CMS and GoHighLevel.
• WebflowX onboarded 100+ teams.
• At InvoiceStock, migrated the frontend to Next.js, TypeScript and Zustand, cutting bundle size 28%, and built multi-tenant data isolation and RBAC serving 50+ SMB customers.
• At Nexora Systems, created a shared shadcn/ui and Tailwind CSS component library adopted across 8+ platform modules.

• Languages and frontend: TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, React, Next.js, React Native, Redux, Zustand, Tailwind CSS, HTML5, CSS3
• Backend and APIs: Node.js, Express, REST APIs, GraphQL, Django REST Framework, Microservices, WebRTC, Server-Side Caching
• Databases and cloud: PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Supabase, Convex, Firebase, AWS (EC2, S3, CloudFront, RDS), Oracle Cloud, Vercel
• Auth and security: JWT, OAuth, WebAuthn/Passkeys, Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), Multi-Tenant Architecture, Data Isolation
• AI and integrations: OpenAI API, Google Gemini, Groq, Vapi AI, LLM Integration, Structured Output, Stripe, Sanity CMS
• Testing and DevOps: Jest, Playwright, Git, GitHub Actions, CI/CD, Docker, Agile/Scrum, System Design, Code Review

• Converso: AI voice tutoring platform on Next.js, Supabase, Clerk and Vapi, with Row Level Security and Zod-validated model output. Live app
• Locopro: real estate listing platform with filters, authentication and an admin panel. Live app
• Axen: scroll-driven 3D storytelling with Next.js, GSAP and Three.js. Live site
