About

Professional summary

I am a Senior iOS and Flutter Engineer with more than five years of experience building, shipping, and maintaining consumer, utility, fintech, and AI-powered mobile applications. I work across native iOS development and cross-platform Flutter development, taking products from concept through App Store and Google Play release.

I specialize in Swift, SwiftUI, UIKit, Objective-C, Dart, and Flutter. My work includes migrating native iOS applications to Flutter while preserving feature parity across iOS and Android, as well as creating new cross-platform applications from scratch.

I have strong experience integrating AI and on-device machine-learning capabilities, including OCR, camera pipelines, image recognition, speech, text recognition, barcode detection, and LLM-powered features. I have used Apple Vision, Natural Language, Core ML, Google ML Kit, and generative AI APIs to deliver practical mobile experiences.

I build secure, scalable mobile apps with REST APIs, WebSockets, push notifications, local persistence, subscriptions, and payment-related integrations. I am experienced with RevenueCat, StoreKit, Firebase, Keychain, CryptoKit, SSL pinning, and biometric authentication.

I apply MVVM, MVC, Clean Architecture, dependency injection, automated testing, performance profiling, and code review practices to create maintainable products. I have led feature development, supported releases, mentored junior engineers, and helped teams meet quality and performance standards.

I am based in Lahore, Pakistan, and currently work in a hybrid capacity. I am open to opportunities where I can contribute senior-level iOS, Flutter, AI integration, and mobile product engineering expertise.

Career history

Senior iOS & Flutter Engineer Imagination AI PTE. LTD.

I own iOS and Flutter development across four consumer applications in a hybrid role. I deliver end-to-end mobile features, continuous releases, and shared subscription infrastructure for iOS and Android products.

For Translator, I built camera, image, and voice translation across 20 languages, using OCR, speech-to-text, and text-to-speech. I migrated the OCR and translation pipeline from Google ML Kit to Apple Vision and Natural Language for on-device processing, converted the native iOS app to Flutter with feature parity, and integrated RevenueCat paywalls.

For Tawk, I engineered an on-device background relay to decrypt and deliver messages from multiple networks into a unified inbox, while adding AI-powered conversation features. I also built QR and barcode scanning applications for iOS and Flutter and created Bitebot, an AI calorie tracker and recipe assistant with meal logging, photo-based food recognition, nutrition tracking, and personalized recipe suggestions.

Senior iOS Engineer Hazel Mobile

I led consumer utility and creativity applications from initial concept through App Store release in an on-site role. I built reusable, scalable iOS solutions and ensured products met quality, testing, and performance requirements before launch.

I led Stickerfab, a sticker and emoji creator that transforms photos into customizable stickers and supports templates and sticker-pack export. I also led DocuScan, a document scanning application with OCR, auto-cropping, batch scanning, cloud storage, and PDF/JPG export, and built a high-speed PDF scanner with image enhancement and smart cropping.

I additionally led development of a React Native personal budgeting application for expense tracking and spending goals. I ran code reviews for junior developers and planned individual and team development sessions.

iOS Engineer SADAD Electronic Payment System BSC

I designed and built the SADAD Payment App for bill payments and prepaid mobile recharges in Bahrain. The app supported instant debit-card payments for services such as phone, internet, electricity, and water, as well as recharge providers including STC and Zain.

I collaborated with cross-functional teams to define, design, and ship new features. I implemented REST API integrations with backend services, fixed defects, improved performance, and integrated networking and existing backend infrastructure.

I used Swift, Objective-C, UIKit, Alamofire, Codable, Keychain, SSL pinning, MVVM, and localization support for Arabic right-to-left interfaces.
