About Me

Building software that earns its place in a business.

I’m a software engineer based in Karachi, Pakistan, working across ASP.NET Core, the MERN stack, Flutter, and Python for backend and AI systems. My work spans web platforms, cross-platform mobile apps, and the internal systems businesses actually run on.

I founded Zentherix to do that work properly: a software company built around modern digital products and business software, structured so clients work directly with the people designing and shipping their systems. As Founder and CEO I lead engineering, product direction, and delivery.

I’m currently training in Forward Deployed Engineering at Panaversity, a discipline that sits where software engineering meets agentic AI and real deployment inside a customer’s business. It is the natural extension of how I already prefer to work: close to the problem, close to the people who own it.

“Good software is judged after launch. I build for the version of the product that exists two years from now.”

Engineering First

Maintainable architecture and readable code, so the product stays cheap to change after launch.

Performance

Fast interfaces and efficient backends, measured rather than assumed.

Product Thinking

Every decision traced back to the business outcome the software is meant to move.

Direct Partnership

You work with the engineer building the product, not a layer of account managers.

The Company I Founded
Zentherix
Founder & CEO

Building the software a business actually runs on.

Zentherix is the company I started to build modern digital products and business software: the platforms, apps, and internal systems companies depend on every day.

It is engineering-led by design: clients work directly with the people writing the code, scope is agreed before work starts, and the software is built to stay maintainable after handover.
