About
5+ years of shipping production software.
I’m a full stack developer with 5+ years of experience designing and shipping production web applications. I work across the whole stack: React and Next.js on the frontend, Node.js services built with Express.js and NestJS behind them, and MySQL, PostgreSQL and MongoDB underneath.
My focus is AI integration: natural-language-to-SQL with retrieval-augmented generation, AI assistants, and LLM features on OpenAI, Anthropic and self-hosted models. I also build integrations with hospitality POS and PMS systems, including Oracle OHIP, Oracle Gen1 and Gen2, Infrasys, Omega and Foodics, and with Xero accounting.
Currently
Senior Software Engineer at Nextbridge Limited, Lahore, Pakistan

AI integration
Most of the engineering happens around the model.
I add LLM features to products that already have users and real data: a natural-language analytics product, an assistant real-estate agents use every day, and AI features on a hospitality platform. The work is giving the model the right context, checking its output and controlling what it can access.
01
Answers grounded in the data
On AskBase AI, a semantic layer describes the client’s business and vector retrieval supplies the context the model needs before it writes any SQL.
See AskBase AI02
Guardrails for real data
Generated queries are validated and run read-only, inside multi-tenant isolation with workspace-level access control. Results are cached.
See AskBase AI03
Model choice per product
I have integrated the OpenAI and Anthropic APIs and self-hosted open-source models through Ollama, depending on what the product needs.
