Software Engineer
Psychology Student

I build software, and I'm curious about the people who use it.

Mostly Java/Spring Boot and React, from Lahore, Pakistan. Before this, I spent years teaching — and right now I'm back in school, studying psychology, to understand how people actually learn and change.

What I care about

Curiosity

About systems, and about people

Patience

Good work and good growth both take time

Honesty

About what works, and what doesn't yet

Kindness

To the people I build for and work with

Selected work

A few of the things I've worked on.

Optima Sports

Optima Sports (OSA)

An athlete-evaluation platform for high-school American football — player assessments, reports and dashboards. I built the React frontend, and now work across the stack ahead of launch — new features, database work, security, messaging and fixes.

Discovery Platform

Company Discovery Platform

A company-discovery and matching platform. I built most of the React/TypeScript frontend and some Spring Boot APIs, in an OpenAPI design-first codebase.

Right now

Deepening my Java and Spring Boot work. Partway through a psychology degree — trying to understand how people learn and change, not just how software does. I write short notes on what I pick up, here.
