Engineering the
Systems Beneath the Software.
Backend services, distributed systems, and self-hosted infrastructure — built to stay up.
Introduction
I'm a software engineer based in Pakistan, focused on backend systems and the infrastructure they run on. My work spans the stack — from async APIs and data models to containers, CI/CD, and the servers everything lives on — with a bias toward reliability and scale.
I maintain a homelab and cloud VPS setup where I self-host my own services and the pipelines that deploy them. This site is part of that: containerized with Docker, shipped through automated CI, and served from a custom Nginx deployment. Staying close to the infrastructure keeps my software grounded in the systems it actually depends on.
I'm currently deepening my expertise in system design and backend engineering, refining how I build and operate services that hold up under real-world load.
Here are a few technologies I've been working with recently:
Backend Development
Building scalable APIs and system designs with a focus on performance.
DevOps
Bridging the gap between software and physical systems.
Infrastructure
Architecting resilient self-hosted environments and orchestrating containerized deployments.
Experience
My professional journey and the impact I've made at various organizations.
