A repeat founder, CTO, and systems architect with 18 years taking systems end-to-end — planning, analysing, architecting, writing the hardest code, testing, supporting, and leading the teams that ship them — across web, mobile, desktop, cross-platform, and embedded. My work spans generative AI & autonomous agents, real-time messaging & streaming, VoIP / unified communications, IoT & hardware, full-OSI networking & telecom, industrial (CMMS / HSE / PLC) & enterprise systems, BI / analytics, blockchain, and knowledge & support — across technology, telecom, cement, healthcare, hyperlocal, agriculture, aquaculture, and HR. I'm the one counted on to put out fires: I take the problems no one else will, with analytical depth and a level-headed, helpful presence, and I've trained and led people from associates to experts in world-class teams. 5× co-founder, 7× CTO, interim CEO, and U.S. patent holder — repeatedly an early mover who built things before the world caught up, from XMPP presence clusters and WebRTC through Apache Pulsar IoT to today's agent graphs. I co-founded and led ZerHaul to acquisition.
The distinct things I've built — all my agentic-AI, AI-agent and AI/ML work included — newest first, each shown once.
AI agents that plan, write, test, review, and ship code together — a self-improving engineering pipeline with people in the loop, which I intend to open-source.
A hive-mind of WhatsApp AI agents for real-estate brokers — coordinating listings, leads, and conversations at scale.
Camera-based AI deployed across a jewellery retail chain — turning ordinary cameras into an intelligent sensing layer.
An offline-first vehicle-recovery assistant for a bank's defaulted vehicle leases — OCR, camera & live scanning; encrypted signed data packages; admin + mobile roles, offline search & sync.
An agent that audits accessibility (ADA) compliance — and does the development work to fix what it finds.
A WhatsApp AI agent built for Vohra & Saigol.
An anonymous text & email system — letting anyone communicate without revealing identity.
AI that runs the phone calls and paperwork of U.S. car-hauling logistics, supervised by humans. Co-founded; led as CTO & interim CEO to a successful acquisition.
An AI agent for denominator extraction from MIPS Clinical Quality Measures.
An AI agent for truck dispatching and load brokerage.
A climate-technology platform.
A support AI that absorbed the routine work of a ~200-person help desk down to 10 senior specialists.
The organisation's first Data/Database Agent — built for, and used by, the COO's team for decision-making.
An autonomous agent for a mergers-and-acquisitions (Acquisitions & Imports) pipeline — intake, workflow, and decision support.
Generative-AI for venture-capital due diligence — a scrape → OCR → vectorize → RAG pipeline over document-heavy analysis, plus the first chatbot/agents.
As CTO, architected AI/ML, BI/analytics, IoT and real-time systems across agriculture, aquaculture & aeroponics programs.
Quarannect connected people in quarantine to what they needed; it evolved into Civilment — civilians doing the work the government couldn't.
A unified aquaculture platform — knowledge-sharing, e-commerce & resource planning — with IoT water-quality sensors, drones, and ML models on an Apache Pulsar backbone; computerized hatcheries that raised survival rates of non-local Pangasius larvae. Co-founded as CTO; led remote support, technical-writing & customization teams.
A hyperlocal services platform — "Uber for all work types" — matching people to local work of every kind.
Private, serverless communication that works without the usual network — no servers, no grids, no phone numbers.
Character over CV lines — where judgment, nerve, or ingenuity mattered. Most recent first.
Won a major project for MDateInternational against larger, established firms (Qurop et al.) purely on the quality of my design — and was offered a 10% stake to deliver it end-to-end.
Handed a declining training institute, I restructured its business fronts and won hospital network projects — enabling the owners to sell the revitalised business within six months.
At ePay UK I caught that a partner (Nomi Mobile) had filed for bankruptcy and pushed to block their transactions. I was ridiculed internally and by ePay's own team that night; by the next day, internal and external top management were thanking me — and my shift was exempted from monitoring for the save.
During PTCL's 7→8-digit number switch, the record system broke. By changing a single URL parameter I could still pull records — while 1500+ colleagues on the national helplines (1236/1217/1218) were turning customers away. Every rep used my workaround until the dev team patched it.
Things I built early relative to the wider world — or a local first.
WebRTC as a next-gen voice layer — proposed when WebRTC was brand-new (announced 2011).
In-browser real-time voice/video on XMPP + WebRTC, before it went mainstream.

Apache Pulsar as an IoT backbone — Pulsar was brand-new (Apache TLP 2018).
Aquaculture IoT + drones + computerized hatcheries in Pakistan — a local first.
Citizen-mobilising civic tech during Covid (Quarannect → Civilment).
GenAI + RAG for VC due diligence — early enterprise GenAI.
Role-replacing AI in production — Atlas (200→10) and the first Database Agent for a COO.
Human-in-the-loop autonomous logistics (voice + browser agents).
An agentic "software factory" — self-improving plan→write→test→review→ship.
One constant runs through all of it: moving information reliably, in real time — XMPP presence clusters → Kafka & Pulsar event streams → today's agent graphs. Time runs down the centre; main roles branch left, concurrent ventures branch right.
Primary focus: an agentic software-development loop — AI agents that plan, write, test, review and ship code under human supervision — which I plan to open-source. Alongside it, a set of completed independent AI products (right).

Telecom support (WLL/DSL/ISDN/PSTN) in Urdu, English & Punjabi — and the record-retrieval fix during the national number migration (see Signature moments).
Everything I've worked with, grouped into independent areas. Highlighted chips are where I'm strongest.
Kept deliberately separate from the technical stack — the human side of how I work.
Across listening, reading, writing and speaking.
Each provider listed separately. The Coursera specializations (left) expand to their component courses; degrees, certifications and self-study are on the right.
