Questions from hiring teams

What are you doing right now?
I've been a software engineer at IOMechs since February 2025, working on Estenarh, AZM and NowCut, and I co-founded Calyndrs in April 2026.
Are you open to new roles?
Yes: remote roles anywhere, and relocation for the right role. Notice period and start dates are easiest to cover on a call.
Have you led work, or mostly contributed?
Both. I led Estenarh's Next.js 14 to 16 and Angular 14 to 17 migrations and its website's performance and SEO work, and as a co-founder I've been part of Calyndrs from the first idea to launch, on product decisions as well as code. On team projects I own features end to end, like NowCut's promo codes, commission tiers and role-based access.
What is your education?
A B.S. in Computer Science from the University of Karachi, 2021 to 2024.
