Introduction
Hello!
I'm a LUMS graduate and passionate software engineer who loves designing and building impactful projects
across diverse tech stacks. I enjoy exploring game development for fun and keep up with the latest in
tech and research—when I'm not gaming! 🎮 I am open to remote and independant contractor roles. You can just onboard me smoothly as a global contractor tomorrow.
Experience
Careem
Careem simplifies life with ride-hailing, food delivery, payments, and more.
Software Engineer
Feb 2025 - May 2026
Key Contributions:
As a Software Engineer at Careem, I contributed across multiple product verticals — Food, Box, and Shops — building and maintaining backend microservices in Go within an event-driven architecture at scale. On the Food side, I automated the On-Time Guarantee initiative eliminating 100% of manual care-agent intervention for delayed orders, owned the delivery instructions remembrance feature achieving 80% adoption post-launch, and scaled a cross-vertical communications adapter that reduced infrastructure costs by ~80% (~$1,600/month). On the Box and Shops side, I delivered a subscription tier discount integration for C+ members, led a city mapping initiative that reduced intercity order cancellations by 3%, and served as on-call engineer during high-traffic windows. Beyond feature delivery, I drove engineering excellence through tech debt remediation, peer learning sessions, and onboarding of new engineers.

Software Engineer
September 2024 - February 2025
Key Contributions:
As a Software Engineer at Nuclieos, I worked as part of a collaborative team delivering full-stack AI-integrated SaaS products across React frontends and Python backends. My primary project was luri.ai, a legal research platform serving 200+ UCLA law students, where I integrated the CourtListener API to extract and generate structured case briefs — reducing brief review time by 70%. I also built a Chrome extension that aggregated Upwork job listings to streamline the business development workflow.

Software Engineer
June 2023 - June 2024
Key Contributions:
As a developer at Educative, I containerized and deployed interactive coding applications to virtual machine instances across multiple courses, enabling hands-on developer learning experiences on the platform. I developed a Rust Web Development course centered around prompt engineering principles, building a ChatGPT-powered server application to demonstrate practical LLM integration for developers. I also built interactive learning applications leveraging open-source multimodal models and the Hugging Face Transformers library, and designed a game development course integrating Computer Graphics principles — laying the foundation for a new content vertical at Educative.
