Based in Pakistan

I architect and ship production-grade backends and full-stack products for legal-tech, supply chain, and SaaS teams — with a creative side I explore through personal photography and film projects.
The Engineer
Code with purpose
I architect production-grade backends for legal-tech, supply chain, and SaaS teams — with a focus on clean APIs, multi-tenant systems, and workflow automation.
routes/api.php
Route::middleware(['auth:sanctum', 'tenant'])
->prefix('api/v1')
->group(function () {
Route::apiResource('cases', CaseController::class);
Route::post('workflows/{id}/run', [WorkflowController::class, 'execute']);
});Off the Clock
Frames with feeling
When I'm not writing code, I'm behind the lens — exploring portraits, landscapes, and street photography, or experimenting with short films and video editing for fun.
