About

From Lahore to Hamburg:
growing as a full‑stack developer.

I’m a software developer with hands-on experience across the full stack, particularly using PHP (Symfony), Contao and WordPress. I’ve built and maintained web portals, optimized database performance and worked with CMS-driven sites for agencies and education. With a Master’s in Applied Computer Science from FH Schmalkalden and a Bachelor’s in Computer Science from the University of Gujrat, I combine solid academic foundations with real-world projects in WordPress, Shopware and custom PHP applications.
