Associate Software Engineer · Lahore, Pakistan

I build the backend and the data behind it.

Python services, integrations and pipelines for retail products used by merchants and their customers.

products in production

A year of shipping backend systems that run without anyone watching them.

I work across two retail products: one that collects and distributes merchant reviews, and one that shows advertisers where their money actually went. Backend and data, on the same team, most days both.

Before that, an internship building an inventory system in Django REST Framework.
