About

I am an AI-enabled software engineer and solution architect with 19+ years of experience in software engineering, including 6+ years in technical leadership and architecture.

My career began in 2007, building software across startups, digital agencies, enterprise organizations, and global consulting firms.

Over the years my responsibilities have evolved from hands-on application development into solution architecture and technical leadership, managing projects and coordinating engineering teams across organizations.

Throughout my career, I have designed, modernized, and delivered enterprise applications, cloud platforms, SaaS products, commerce solutions, and digital transformation initiatives for clients including J.D. Irving, Telenor Pakistan, MattressFirm, Freeman, Essent Title, Machinima, Plus! Games, Belcon Construction, and PlasticPlace, and others.

Today I work across Java, Spring Boot, Angular, React, Next.js, PHP, Laravel, Magento, GraphQL, AWS, Azure, and modern cloud-native architectures while leveraging AI to improve software delivery and engineering productivity.

My expertise spans software engineering, solution architecture, cloud modernization, SaaS platform engineering, enterprise commerce, technical leadership, and AI-enabled software delivery.
