About

Professional summary

I am a Senior Full-Stack Engineer and Technical Lead with more than 11 years of experience building scalable SaaS products, enterprise platforms, and cloud-native applications. I specialize in end-to-end architecture and delivery across the JavaScript and TypeScript ecosystem.

I build modern web applications with Node.js, TypeScript, React, Next.js, and NestJS. My backend expertise includes REST and GraphQL APIs, distributed systems, event-driven architecture, WebSockets, and multi-tenant SaaS platforms.

I have deep hands-on experience with AWS serverless infrastructure, including Lambda, DynamoDB, API Gateway, SQS, SNS, EventBridge, ECS, and S3. I also work extensively with PostgreSQL, Redis, MongoDB, MySQL, and performance optimization across APIs and databases.

I lead distributed engineering teams, conduct architecture reviews, mentor engineers, establish API and infrastructure patterns, and improve engineering quality through CI/CD, automated testing, containerization, and secure authentication practices.

I also design and integrate production AI and LLM workflows, including RAG pipelines, embeddings, function calling, streaming, prompt engineering, and agentic systems using OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, pgvector, LangGraph, and Vercel AI SDK.

I am open to senior full-stack, staff-level, technical leadership, and AI-product engagements, with availability for remote work and substantial overlap with US Pacific Time.

Career history

Team Lead & Senior Full-Stack Engineer Modus Create Inc.

I lead a distributed team of 8+ engineers working with Audi Business Innovation GmbH (Audi Group) on behalf of Modus Create. I run design reviews, make architecture calls across frontend, backend and cloud, and own the serverless backend (Node.js, NestJS, AWS Lambda, DynamoDB, SQS/SNS) used by several Audi business units. I moved the platform from a legacy desktop app to the cloud and rebuilt the frontend in Vue.js, then Next.js.

I cut API latency 25% with DynamoDB Streams, Redis caching, Lambda cold-start tuning and SQS/SNS events. I introduced TDD with Jest, Cypress and Supertest and reworked CI/CD on GitHub Actions, cutting production bugs 25%. I also integrated the ComfyUI API to generate AI backplates for Audi car renderings, containerized services with Docker and Kubernetes, and tightened auth with JWT, OAuth2 and RBAC.

Senior Full-Stack Developer X-Team

I worked remotely from Lahore on X-Team's internal hiring portal, talent operations tools and main marketing website. I built real-time WebSocket sync (React, Node.js) for the internal hiring portal, used by 20K+ users a month, replacing polling and cutting sync delays 40%.

I built React/Redux front-ends on REST and GraphQL APIs (Node.js, NestJS, PostgreSQL, MongoDB) with 95%+ test coverage, and designed schemas and optimized queries in PostgreSQL and MongoDB for faster responses and better scalability.

Technical Lead & Full-Stack Engineer Kwanso

I was team lead and architect on client products built with Node.js, Angular, React and Vue, and led and mentored 10+ engineers through code and architecture reviews.

I architected Unlayer, a multi-tenant drag-and-drop email and page builder SaaS, from the first version: GraphQL API, PostgreSQL schemas, and an async job queue on RabbitMQ and Redis, raising backend throughput 30%. I owned Biomarker, a healthcare data platform with several sub-applications: an Angular dashboard (TypeScript, RxJS, NgRx, SASS) on a NestJS API, with MERN for the smaller modules. I reduced deployment time 30% by moving services to Docker and Kubernetes and automating CI/CD.

Software Engineer Pikessoft

I did full-stack work on PHP and Ruby on Rails web applications, delivering 5+ web products in PHP, Ruby on Rails and JavaScript (CodeIgniter, Laravel, WordPress, AJAX). I improved load times 30% with SQL optimization and server-side caching.

I built Review.ly, a URL shortener, working on backend logic, the database schema and front-end features from the first build to launch.

AI Training Engineer Mercor

Part-time contract. I evaluated and ranked code in Python, JavaScript, TypeScript and Go for frontier-model RLHF. I completed 100+ tasks with a 9.7 quality score and wrote up where agents failed on multi-step and tool-use tasks.
