Current Focus

Computer Science at SZABIST University in Islamabad. While formal education provides the architectural baseline, my daily focus remains on engineering scalable, high-impact software.

Building & Engineering

Backend Infrastructure: Leveraging FastAPI to build high-performance, asynchronous APIs. Prioritizing speed and robust architecture in modern web environments.

RTO Shield: Developing a Shopify app engineered to neutralize cash-on-delivery fraud in the Pakistani e-commerce market. Solving high-friction, localized problems to create actual utility.

Pulse: Live Moments App: Engineering a real-time moment-based social platform for Android using Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, and Firebase. The core loop is operational: users receive a random trigger notification, have 60 seconds to capture a photo or text moment, which is saved to Firestore and displayed in a global live feed. Authentication via Firebase Auth, image uploads via Cloudinary, and a 2-minute anonymous random match chat are all functional. Currently working through a structured deployment roadmap: next milestones include real-time chat via Firestore, FCM push notification triggers, user profile system, and Play Store submission.

AI & Automation: Architecting automated systems and optimizing crypto trading bots. Testing theoretical trading frameworks against live market mechanics.

When not writing C++ or Python, I am deconstructing tech trends, analyzing complex cinematography, and studying mechanics in games.
