About

Who I am

For the past six years, I've been building and shipping iOS and cross-platform apps across telecom, fintech, healthcare and B2C. What I enjoy most is taking something that feels complicated and turning it into an experience that feels almost effortless. That's what good softwares do.

I work with Swift, SwiftUI, Flutter and Kotlin Multiplatform, but the tool is never the point. Clean architecture, offline-first thinking, tests that catch real bugs, and release pipelines that don't need babysitting, those are what let a team sleep at night.

AI is part of my daily loop: Claude, Cursor and Copilot for architecture, refactoring, debugging and tests. It speeds things up, but the bar stays the same, code-quality is only improved, and scalability remains top-priority. All to ship applications you'd want to use yourself.

Beyond the code

The rest of me

I'm not only what I ship. These are the things that keep me curious and keep the work honest.

Travelling

I love getting lost somewhere new. A rough itinerary, a backpack, and figuring out the rest on the ground.

Trekking

Northern Pakistan has trails that reset your perspective. Long climbs are a good reminder that hard things are just a series of small steps.

Football

Weekend football with friends is my favourite kind of meeting. No agenda, just movement, teamwork and the occasional bruise.

Music, Movies & TV

Music keeps me company while I code; films and shows are how I unwind. I'm drawn to anything that tells a story well.

Where I'm headed

What I want to do

I want to keep building mobile products that matter — things people rely on for their money, their health, and staying connected to the people they love. That's the kind of work worth the hours.

Technically, I want to go deeper: shared cross-platform architecture that doesn't compromise on native feel, and AI woven into engineering practice so teams ship better software, not just faster software.

Longer term, I want to lead. Not away from the code, but alongside engineers — setting the bar, mentoring people into their own senior years, and building teams that trek well together.
