The Journey

Pre-2000

Started with curiosity

Built single-page websites and basic JavaScript apps as a kid. No grand vision, just tinkering and learning what worked. Wrote SEO content and academic papers as a freelance content writer during school days.

2000-09

Theology & Islamic Sciences

Bachelor's degree (Al Faqih ul Mutqin | Simat Rabea) at Aljamea tus Saifiyah. Developed discipline, analytical thinking, and attention to detail that later translated into systematic problem-solving in software development.

2010-14

BS Computer Science

Iqra University, Karachi. Formal computer science education building on years of self-taught coding. Continued freelance content writing during this period.

2011

Started Android development

Started learning Android development. The platform was relatively new at the time. Realized I could turn childhood tinkering into something real.

2013

First app on Play Store

Published my first Android app (Adad Calculator) on the Play Store. Didn't even have an online payment account, so my aunt paid the registration fees from France to make it happen.

2014

5 apps published, 1.4M+ installs

Had 5 Android apps on the Play Store, collectively reaching over 1.4 million installations with a 4.47/5 average rating. From zero payment account to building apps people actually used.

1.4M+ Installs 4.47/5 Rating
2015-17

First e-commerce work

Web Application Developer at Q-Solutions, Karachi. Full stack development with LAMP stack and lightweight frameworks like Slim. Built e-commerce solutions on OpenCart alongside native and hybrid mobile applications. Promoted to Senior Developer. First real taste of e-commerce systems.

2018

The Shopware pivot

Joined Zepcom LLC as Backend Developer in 2018. Started working with Shopware 5.2 from day one. Everything clicked. Promoted to Senior Shopware Developer within a year, leading projects and teams alongside technical development, handling client coordination and requirement gathering. Transitioned to Shopware 6 after its release. Stopped being a generalist and went all-in on Shopware e-commerce architecture. 8 years of exclusive focus since then (2018-2023 at Zepcom).
