Karachi, PK · UTC+5 · Available now
Backend and cloud engineer, five years in production. I've led a four-person team architecting event-driven microservices on AWS, redesigned a national telemedicine platform's cloud footprint down to a fraction of its cost, and built Model Context Protocol servers that hand live systems to LLMs as callable tools.

01 What I build
Capabilities
Containerised microservices on AWS EKS and ECS running on Fargate behind load balancers. Cross-cloud migration of a live platform onto AWS Elastic Beanstalk while Azure stayed in service. Infrastructure redesign driven by the bill, not the diagram — and CI/CD that gates every release on lint, test and deploy stages.

Node.js, TypeScript and Python services — REST design, event buses over NATS Streaming, WebRTC consultation backends and Server-Sent Events streaming.
Node · TypeScript · Python · Koa2 · Express
MCP servers exposing real systems as LLM-callable tools, and multi-agent orchestration in LangChain/LangGraph across Claude, OpenAI and Gemini — with a QA gate in front of generated output.

MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB and Redis in production, plus an OLAP warehouse migration from Amazon Redshift to ClickHouse that kept columnar query speed while cutting cost.

React Native and Expo at release scale — offline-first sync for field staff, native call integration, SDK migrations and automated release pipelines with version-consistency gating.

02 The number I get asked about
88%
A national telemedicine platform was paying roughly $12,000 a month to Azure. I redesigned the infrastructure around Application Gateway, App Services and Azure Functions and brought it to about $1,500 — as an individual contributor, with the platform live throughout.

Four of them, in depth
A Model Context Protocol server exposing a live Azure MySQL database as LLM-callable tools, with a Chainlit chat interface so the platform can be queried and managed in natural language instead of raw SQL.
Read case studyLed a four-person backend team building a warehouse management system for Leafgistics, a US cannabis logistics operator — independently deployable services on AWS EKS and Fargate, communicating over an event bus.
Read case studyA national telemedicine platform's Azure footprint had outgrown its architecture. I rebuilt it around Application Gateway, App Services and Azure Functions, taking monthly spend from roughly $12,000 to $1,500.
Read case studyArchitected a LangGraph platform orchestrating seven specialised agents behind an intent classifier, streaming over Server-Sent Events with Pinecone vector memory — and a dedicated QA agent gating every generated response.
Read case study04 Working stack
Not a keyword list
Two clouds run in parallel through a live migration, and one bill cut by ~88%.
Event-driven services, real-time consultation backends, and APIs consolidated rather than accumulated.
Tool boundaries and safety gates, not demos — including one open-source MCP server contribution.
Including an OLAP migration across three fulfilment centres that held query latency while cutting cost.
Release pipelines with version-consistency gating, offline-first sync, and native module work.
The part of the job that isn't code — and the reason migrations landed without an outage.

Dec 2022 — Sep 2023
BitsPro · Karachi
Led four engineers building an event-driven microservices WMS on AWS EKS and Fargate; owned the warehouse data layer through a Redshift → ClickHouse migration; built the CI/CD gates for the service fleet.
Mar 2021 — Dec 2022
Zetsol Technologies · Hyderabad
Built the WebRTC video and audio consultation engine on a Koa2/TypeScript backend, the Angular operations console behind it, CI/CD across five environments — and the Azure redesign that removed ~88% of monthly spend.
