Software Engineer · Karachi

Software engineer in Karachi. I build AI-integrated products, break a few things, fix them, and ship. Still figuring it out — just a bit faster than yesterday. Let's build something together.

Aug 2025 — Now

Full-time. Building an AI website builder that writes production Next.js so you don't have to.

  • Shipped an AI-assisted visual website builder (think Shopify/Framer, but it writes the Next.js for you) — natural-language prompts and DSL imports in, production-ready sites out.
  • Wired LLM API calls straight into the generation pipeline and built live prompt-engineering systems that power real user-facing output at scale.
  • Built real-time AI UIs — streaming output, structured JSON parsing, graceful error states — plus an Apple-keynote-style typography animation engine for wait screens because vibes matter.
  • Designed a 3-tier atomic design system (Atoms/Molecules/Organisms) in App Router + TS, cutting new feature UI time by 40%.
  • Engineered a runtime theme-injection architecture: full UI/UX rebrand with zero component-level changes — theming went from days to seconds.
  • Owned monorepo/multirepo boundaries, Bitbucket CI/CD, OAuth 2.0 onboarding, and ESLint/Prettier/Husky so nobody ships slop.

The vibe — about

YRKarachi, Pakistan

I'm a software engineer who likes building things where the AI is the actual product — and gets a little sad when it's just a chatbot in the corner.

These days that means turning prompts into real Next.js apps — streaming UIs, design systems, the occasional theming rabbit hole. I care about the latency curve and the kerning in roughly equal amounts, which is probably a problem. Mostly I just like shipping things that work.

“Controlled chaos — looks like I'm winging it, every offset is on purpose.”

Off the clock — the fun stuff

Everything between deploys.

When I'm not shipping: a camera and the road up north. Hunza, the Karakoram, old Karachi. Not on my résumé, but very much the point.
