01 — About

Who I am

A software engineer who has grown from building products to leading the teams behind them.

Profile

Over the past several years I've delivered software across CRM, marketplaces, accounting and now large scale government systems for companies including LMKR, SELTEQ, Abeer Integrated Solutions and Ewiglife. Today I lead a production support and development team on Punjab's Land Administration & Management Portal, owning everything from microservices architecture and API integrations to system stability and mentoring. I care about clean, scalable code, high availability, and shipping software that makes a real difference to citizens.

Focus areas

Backend engineering with ASP.NET Core, C# & Clean Architecture; microservices & event driven systems ,gRPC, Kafka, Redis, MongoDB; real time features with SignalR; API integrations (NADRA, biometric, SMS, payment gateways); containerization with Docker; and production support in high availability environments alongside technical leadership and mentoring.

02 — How I lead

Leadership in action

My role goes well beyond code I keep a mission critical, province wide system running and the people around it aligned.

01

Production Support Lead

Lead the team that keeps LAMP live 24/7 — incident management, production deployments, monitoring APIs and services, and troubleshooting complex application and database issues in a high availability environment where downtime isn't an option.

02

Team Leadership & Mentoring

Guide a combined development and support team: driving architecture and design decisions, reviewing work, mentoring engineers, and making sure the team delivers with quality, ownership and consistency.

03

Client & Stakeholder Engagement

Work directly with government departments, the Punjab Land Records Authority (PLRA) and business teams — running client meetings, demoing the platform, gathering requirements, and translating them into critical business deliverables.

04

Training & Enablement

Deliver hands on training on the new digital land processes to Punjab Land Record staff province-wide — running sessions across districts throughout Punjab (Lodhran, Okara, Sahiwal and Nankana Sahib,Rawalpindi, Chakwal, Gujranwala, Lahore and other districts) to prepare teams on the ground to adopt the system confidently.
