About

Engineering that holds up in production.

I'm a software engineer at Code Huddle, building full-stack products for international clients, from React and Next.js frontends to NestJS APIs, PostgreSQL and AWS. I studied Software Engineering at COMSATS University Islamabad. My final-year project took first place in the department's competition and is documented in a technical report on Zenodo.

Now: Software Engineer, Code Huddle
Degree: BS Software Engineering, CGPA 3.79
Based in: Rawalpindi, Pakistan

How I work

01
Build to the brief
DevProjAnalytics met every requirement set by the department's administration, and they evaluated it continuously over a full academic year, not just at a one-off demo.
02
Trust the server, not the client
Every API route checks permissions on the server. Nine roles, and no privilege escalation found in any test scenario. The UI mirrors the rules; it never enforces them.
03
Learn what the problem demands
None of the three ML models behind DevProjAnalytics were in my coursework. I researched, fine-tuned and served them because the problem needed them.
04
Leave the tools better
I proposed and rebuilt Code Huddle's Next.js scaffolding CLI from scratch, and I mentor interns on the practices behind it.
