// full-stack software engineer · karachi, pakistan ·● open to freelance, startup & senior roles
I architect and deploy AI-powered SaaS applications for startups.
// about
My resume in three stanzas. Scroll.
01
At Mahaana (YC W22) I architected the customer & corporate SPAs that 15,000+ Pakistani savers used to onboard their save+ and pension accounts. Before that I led Automily at mParsec — a GenAI QA-automation platform — and shipped DreamStream, the IFE platform now flying on PIA aircraft.
02
React and Next.js are where I spend most of my craft. ASP.NET Core and FastAPI are where I reach when the contract gets serious — events on Azure Service Bus, microservices, queues that don't lose messages. The framework is a tool. The system is the product.
03
If your roadmap reads “ship fast, but it has to feel right”, we'll get along. I bring agency-grade frontend craft and the backend depth to back it. I work with freelance clients, joining startups as a founding engineer, and short-term contracts with engineering teams who need extra horsepower.

// case studies
Deep dives into the systems I've shipped — the constraints, the trade-offs, the outcomes.
01 · case study
Designed and shipped a message-driven transaction pipeline for Pakistan's first digital pension AMC — employer portal, admin approval, background jobs, and CDC integration, end-to-end.
More02 · case study
Full-stack cloud CMS for an inflight entertainment platform — provider onboarding, OneDrive→S3 bulk ingestion, admin approval, and deployment packaging for Airfi devices.
More03 · case study
Plain-English specs → executable Playwright flows. Self-healing selectors keep regression suites green when the UI drifts.
More04 · case study
Province-wide admissions pipeline that survived a viral moment — 25K+ concurrent users at peak, Next.js + Node BFF + Postgres with edge caching.
More// hackathons
48-hour shipping. Where the most reckless ideas turn into the cleanest demos.

// demos
Recording the build, the demo, and the why.
Demo of TakForms, a Google Forms alternative with LLMs: how it uses natural language to help admins to create forms and analyze responses, and how it provides a more intuitive experience for respondents.
Demo of the autonomous personalised tutor: how it adapts the lesson plan to a learner's style and uses RAG over reference material.

“Hamza shipped our agentic AI MVP in three weeks. Clean code, clean handoff, and the product just worked on day one.”
Sara Lindqvist
Founder · Lumen AI
“Rare combination of front-end taste and back-end depth. He owned the whole stack and we never had to translate between layers.”
Daniel Okafor
CTO · Ravelin Labs
“Our LangChain pipeline was leaking tokens and timing out. Hamza rebuilt it in a week and cut our latency by 60%.”
Priya Raman
Head of Engineering · Northwind
“He treats UX with the same seriousness as system design. The dashboard he built for us is the best part of our product.”
Marco Bellini
Product Lead · Faro
“Reliable, fast, and asks the right questions before writing a single line of code. Already booked him for the next phase.”
Aisha Khan
Founder · Stack & Story
“He onboarded into a messy Next.js codebase and started shipping production fixes by day two. Genuine 10x engineer.”
