Full-stack products, from the UI to the systems behind it.

I build in TypeScript end to end: React and Next.js front ends, NestJS back ends, and the infrastructure they run on. Most of my work has been in fintech and Web3, where a dropped or duplicated transaction isn't acceptable. Lately I also build the AI layer on top: LLM pipelines and multi-agent systems, with deterministic checks that make their output safe to ship. 6+ years of turning messy requirements into production software.

About

I'm a full-stack engineer with over six years of experience building distributed systems, financial platforms, and the products on top of them. I've led a team of four, owned architecture across client platforms, and been the only engineer responsible for a live product.

I care about the parts that break in production: idempotency and consistency when money moves, pipelines that survive flaky upstream sources, and integrations with partner APIs that were never designed to be easy. The through-line is data that has to stay correct while arriving from somewhere I don't control.

More recently that work has moved into applied AI: agent orchestration on Google ADK, LLM-powered generation inside a shipped product, and computer vision systems from earlier in my career. The engineering problem there is rarely the model. It's the deterministic scaffolding that makes a probabilistic system's output something you can depend on.

Experience

ZenApply • Remote

Lead Engineer Feb 2026 - Present
  • Only engineer on a three-person team. I built and run the whole stack solo: a React browser extension, a NestJS / BullMQ pipeline, and the production infrastructure.
  • The ingestion pipeline pulls from 40+ external sources through background queues with per-source rate limiting, dedupe, and enrichment, and normalizes 25k+ job listings a day from sources with unstable schemas.
  • The AI auto-fill engine handles 2k+ applications a day across 30+ ATS platforms. It completes ~100% of officially supported platforms and 80-90% of unsupported ones by reading each form's schema and constraining the model to valid answers.
  • Deterministic fields fill instantly from a stored profile; open-ended ones stream back from the model over SSE, with a batch fallback.

BlockApex • Karachi, PK

May 2022 - Feb 2026

Acquired Xord's services division in Mar 2023.

Senior Software Engineer & Technical Lead Mar 2023 - Feb 2026
  • Led the full engineering lifecycle for client projects, from scoping vague client problems into concrete architectures through delivery, overseeing project teams and code quality.
  • Designed the payment infrastructure for Midl, a P2P crypto-fiat bridge, using distributed locking and idempotency to handle 10,000+ concurrent users without dropped or duplicated transactions.
  • Built the backend for Handle Pay, a unified self-custody wallet: deterministic address derivation across EVM and Solana, cross-platform passkey authentication, and fault-tolerant RPC handling.
  • Designed the routing logic for Aasan Bridge, a LayerZero-based liquidity solver moving assets between EVM chains and Solana, and architected the order-book (CLOB) backend for Elektrik DEX.
  • Built the backend for Gran Hermano's official quiz app, which held up through live TV traffic spikes.
  • Standardized CI/CD across 8 distinct architectures, replacing ad-hoc deploys, and mentored junior engineers on distributed-system design.
