Experience

  1. Software Engineer Intern

    Feb 2026 — Present

    VentureDive · Lahore, PK

    • Build and ship full-stack features in production Next.js/Node services, from ticket to code review to release.
    • Implement retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines — chunking, embedding, vector search and grounded prompting — so LLM answers cite real source documents instead of hallucinating.
    • Work inside CI/CD workflows: automated checks on every pull request, reviewed commits, and staged deploys.
    • Contribute to system-design discussions on data modelling, service boundaries and API contracts.
  2. Full-Stack & AI Developer — client projects

    1.5 years

    Contract work under an independent mentor · Remote, Lahore

    • Shipped responsive full-stack web apps with React, Next.js, Node, Express and MongoDB against real client requirements and deadlines.
    • Built AI automation with Python and LLM APIs — chatbots and agents that take actions in a workflow rather than only answering questions.
    • Handled the parts that decide whether software survives contact with users: REST API design, auth and role-based access, third-party integrations, SEO and performance work.
    • Deployed backend services on AWS and connected them to client systems through APIs and webhooks.
    • Worked to review: my mentor set the requirements, checked the code, and held the delivery bar — which is where most of what I know about writing maintainable code came from.
