Mobile is where most of my production experience sits. Web and applied AI are real, shipped work too — so each has its own section below.
Native Kotlin on MVVM and Clean Architecture (Compose, Hilt, Room, Coroutines, WorkManager) and Flutter for Android + iOS from one codebase. Eight apps on Google Play with 2M+ downloads, plus offline POS and enterprise systems.
See mobile work →A live SaaS resume builder, an e-commerce launch with local payment gateways, and an offline clinic system — frontend, API, database and deployment.
See web work →On-device AI inside shipped apps (OCR, pose detection, retrieval), AI-assisted engineering, agentic automation, and published-track deep-learning research.
See AI work →Products I designed and built end to end, and the consumer apps that carry the user numbers.
A complete PDF app that runs entirely on the device: no uploads, no subscription, no watermark stamped on your files. Built around Urdu support, which almost nothing else in this category handles properly.
Counter software for shops that cannot afford to stop when the internet does — billing, stock and credit ledgers that keep working offline and reconcile once the connection returns.
A single Flutter app that runs an entire organisation's internal operations — sales, warehouse and management working from the same data, with administrators controlling who sees what.
A complete shopping experience in Flutter: catalogue browsing, cart, checkout and order tracking, built to stay responsive on the mid-range Android devices most customers in this region carry.
Rebuilt from scratch in Flutter, turning a basic page reader into a full app: continue-reading progress, Parah, Surah, Manzil and Sajdah navigation, bookmarks, a Tasbeeh counter and a Zakat calculator with nisab from gold and silver prices.

Screenshots from a local build with fictional sample data
On the device where privacy and cost matter, through LLM APIs and agents where they don’t — and the research behind it.
Urdu OCR that keeps page layout in PDF Toolkit (Tesseract + ML Kit), camera pose detection for exercise form in RehabCoach (MediaPipe), and offline document retrieval in rag-core (ONNX Runtime). No per-request cost, no user data leaving the phone.
Claude Code and Codex for planning, refactoring, test scaffolding, debugging and code review — with prompts and context scoped to the task, and every change read and verified by me before it merges.
Multi-step agents that do real work — LLMs connected to tools and APIs, with retries, guardrails and a human check where a mistake would be expensive.
Applied deep learning, and AI that runs on the device instead of on someone else’s server.
A detection framework built for edge and embedded deployment: camera input through face alignment and contrast enhancement into a Swin Transformer backbone, ending in an audio-visual alert.
An on-device Retrieval-Augmented Generation library for Android. No API keys, no network calls — document search and answers running entirely on the phone via ONNX Runtime and a pure-Kotlin tokenizer.
Examining demographic bias inside the training labels of the CheXpert chest X-ray dataset — exploratory analysis, visualisation and the ResNet-50 classification pipeline.
Prepare practical lab manuals for Programming Fundamentals (C++), Information & Communication Technology, and Software Requirements Engineering.
Grouped by how deep I actually go, not by how many logos fit on a page.
Daily use, production apps, architecture decisions.
Comfortable shipping without hand-holding.
Used in real projects, still going deeper.

Whether you need one app built properly or an extra pair of hands who already knows the terrain.
From idea to a signed release on the Play Store or App Store — architecture, development, testing and the store listing itself.
An existing codebase that crashes, drags or nobody wants to touch. I read it, tell you honestly what it needs, then fix it.
AI agents and pipelines that handle the repetitive parts of your operation, connected to the tools your team already uses.
Yes. I work remotely with clients across Pakistan, the Gulf and further afield, and I keep hours that overlap with your team.
One platform with deep hardware access: native Kotlin. Android and iOS on one budget and timeline: Flutter. Tell me what the app has to do and you get a straight recommendation, not the answer that suits me.
Regularly. I review the codebase first and tell you whether it is worth continuing or worth rewriting, with the reasoning behind it.
Yes — mid and senior Android, Flutter and mobile engineering roles. Remote worldwide, relocation with visa sponsorship, or onsite/hybrid in Islamabad and Rawalpindi. Email the job description and I will reply with a straight answer on fit.
Send a message describing what you are building and roughly when you need it. You get a reply with scope, approach and timeline — no long discovery process before you know where you stand.
Fastest reply on WhatsApp. For roles, email works best — attach the job description and I will tell you straight away whether I am the right fit.
