The full story

Full Stack Developer crafting scalable web applications with Laravel, React.js, and modern API architectures. Trusted by teams across the globe.

About Me

I'm a Full Stack Developer based in Rawalpindi, Pakistan, with 4+ years of experience building robust, scalable web applications from concept to deployment. My core expertise spans the LAMP stack (Laravel, MySQL, PHP) and the MERN stack (MongoDB, Express, React, Node.js), giving me the flexibility to work across the full stack depending on what a project needs.

I currently work in government IT, where I build and maintain internal systems, while also taking on freelance and contract engagements on the side. Over the years I've shipped 20+ projects for clients across the globe, ranging from SaaS dashboards and API integrations to full VPS deployments with CI/CD pipelines.

I'm available on Upwork and open to direct client relationships with companies worldwide. Update this bio from the admin panel to add more detail about your journey, achievements, and what you're currently focused on.
