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 — every AI, agent and ML project included — newest first, each shown once. Filter by kind:
AI agents that plan, write, test, review, and ship code together — a self-improving engineering loop with people in the loop, which I intend to open-source.
A hive-mind of WhatsApp AI agents for real-estate brokers — multi-agent coordination with shared memory, routing listings, leads, and conversations at scale.
Camera-based AI across a jewellery retail chain — turning ordinary in-store cameras into an intelligent computer-vision 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 with offline search & sync.
An agent that audits accessibility (ADA) compliance — and does the development work to fix what it flags.
A WhatsApp AI agent built for Vohra & Saigol.
An anonymous text & email system — letting anyone communicate without revealing their identity.
AI that runs the phone calls and paperwork of U.S. car-hauling logistics, supervised by humans — voice + browser agents behind approval gates. Co-founded; led as CTO & interim CEO to a successful acquisition.
An AI agent for denominator extraction from MIPS Clinical Quality Measures — automating a slice of U.S. healthcare-quality reporting.
An AI agent for truck dispatching and load brokerage — matching loads to carriers across the workflow.
A climate-technology platform.
A support AI that absorbed the routine work of a ~200-person help desk down to 10 senior specialists — classify → RAG over the KB → draft → gate → escalate.
The organisation's first Data/Database Agent — natural-language questions to queries & analysis over enterprise data; built for, and used by, the COO's team.
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 — and wrote the hardest parts of web/mobile/backend/data.
Quarannect connected people in quarantine to what they needed; it evolved into Civilment — mobilising ordinary citizens to do the work the state 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.
Co-founded ZerHaul — human-in-the-loop AI for U.S. car-hauling logistics — and ran it as CTO and interim CEO of the parent, through to a successful acquisition.
At Trilogy I was named “The Extreme L2” — consistently given the most technically complex acquired systems and the toughest legacy knowledge to import, and made lead of the Imports team. 97% quality, 100% target.
Built PatientConcern — real-time doctor scheduling & patient records over XMPP — for a medical-services start-up; the product reached Pakistan's Plan9 tech incubator.
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.
At ePay UK the CEO nicknamed me “The Champ,” personally forwarding me every challenge no one else would touch — the ones the floor had given up on.
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.
Android running in cars — before Android Auto (2014).
Off-grid, serverless, numberless P2P — U.S. patent, alongside the earliest mesh-messaging wave.
Mobile SoCs with CPU + GPU + AI-unit + FPGA — before mainstream mobile NPUs (2017).
SIP + XMPP on carrier-grade VoIP/UC (Broadsoft) — enterprise real-time UC ahead of the curve.
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 skill runs through every era of my career — moving information reliably, in real time. Long before agents were the headline it was messages, then events, now tool-calls; the queueing discipline is identical.
Live text / voice / video chat on XMPP, WebRTC & AMQP — clustered Openfire + RhinoJS, Strophe.js over BOSH/Comet.
SIP + XMPP on carrier-grade Broadsoft VoIP/UC; then SERVVI, a real-time work engine on digital streaming platforms.
Reverse-documented Kafka-based queuing & streaming internals (Jive) for acquired SaaS.
Apache Pulsar event-streaming backbone with MQTT at the sensor edge — aquaculture telemetry & ML.
LangGraph state machines for support triage — the same routing / queueing, now over agents.
HITL orchestration — classify → act → escalate — applied to autonomous logistics.
The streaming / queueing mindset applied to the ultimate asynchronous system — the software-development lifecycle itself: agents that plan → write → test → review → ship.
Time runs down the centre; main roles branch left, concurrent ventures branch right — see The through-line above for the real-time thread that connects them.
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).
Human-supervised AI for U.S. car-hauling logistics — voice & browser agents with people on the approvals. ZerHaul was owned by Zeryph; led it to acquisition.
AI agent for denominator extraction from MIPS Clinical Quality Measures.
A climate-technology platform.
AI agent for truck dispatching and load brokerage.
Built Atlas (L1/L2 triage → RAG over the KB → escalation) that took a ~200-person desk to 10; a VP Finance AI for the M&A (Acquisitions & Imports) pipeline; and the org's first Database Agent for the COO's team.

Designed a small network; integrated Elastix voice + CRM into their support SaaS; set up Apache Traffic Server proxies, Active Directory, central file-sharing, monitoring & Linux firewalls. Proposed WebRTC as a next-gen voice layer — turned down as ahead of its time.
Taught CCNA/CCNP. Tasked to revitalise a declining institute — restructured its business fronts and won hospital network projects, enabling the owners to sell it within six months.
Promoted to supervisor on my first day for topping every training test. The CEO called me "The Champ," forwarding me every challenge no one else would touch. Led 20+ on global network monitoring, and caught a bankrupt partner's transactions in time (see Signature moments).
Telecom support (WLL/DSL/ISDN/PSTN) in Urdu, English & Punjabi. Found the record-retrieval fix during the national 7→8-digit migration (see Signature moments); declined a network/server-team offer to first build fundamentals.
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.
