About Me

Building things that last

I have been writing software for over seven years, working with teams in the United Kingdom, United States, UAE, and Pakistan. I care about two things most, building things that work well, and making sure the people using them have a good experience. These days I spend a lot of my time thinking about how AI fits into real products, not as a gimmick, but as something genuinely useful. Outside of client work, I build open source tools for developers and write about what I learn along the way. I enjoy working closely with product and design, because the best technical decisions usually come from understanding what the end user actually needs. That curiosity is what keeps the work interesting, no matter how many years in.

The Process

How I Work

I follow the same steps on every project, no matter the size. Understand it fully, plan it properly, build it cleanly, then make sure it holds up and keeps improving.

01Discover

Understanding and reviewing requirements: digging into the real goal behind the brief, surfacing edge cases early, and aligning on scope before a single line is written.

02Architect

Breaking down requirements into a clear technical plan, with AI strategy built in from day one.

03Build

Writing clean, maintainable code that ships fast. Frontend and backend built to work together, not bolted on after.

04Scale

Deploying with cloud infrastructure, catching regressions before they hit production, and optimising for real-world load.

05Iterate

Watching how it performs in the real world, gathering feedback, and shipping refinements that keep the product sharp over time.

What I Do

Services I Offer

Full-Stack Development

I build products end to end. React on the front, Node.js or Nest.js on the back, Next.js when it fits. I care about the architecture as much as the feature that ships on top of it.
