I build production .NET backends and the Azure infrastructure they run on โ APIs, microservices, background jobs, and AI features that hold up under real load, not demo conditions.
Most of my work is one of two things: building a SaaS backend from scratch, or taking one that's straining and making it fast, observable, and cheap to run.
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
WHAT I DO
โช Backend & APIs
C#, .NET Core, ASP.NET Core, Blazor. REST API design, microservices, background and web jobs, Azure Service Bus queues, SignalR real-time. SQL Server and MongoDB โ schema design, complex queries, and performance tuning.
โช Azure Infrastructure
I don't just deploy to Azure, I architect on it. App Services, Container Registry, Blob Storage, Service Bus, Azure Cache for Redis, Azure SignalR Service, containers, and CI/CD pipelines through Azure DevOps and Docker.
โช AI Integration That Ships
OpenAI API, RAG and embeddings, document and OCR pipelines, multi-LLM orchestration with automatic failover and rate-limit handling. I've built a custom MCP (Model Context Protocol) server framework and a multi-tenant WhatsApp AI agent builder โ both running in production, not prototypes.
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
RECENT WORK
โช NileDesk
Core engineer on a no-code business process management SaaS platform. I built the PDF builder, pivot-table report builder, charts builder, views builder, and the notifications system (web, mobile, push, email).
On the infrastructure side, I designed the email delivery system on Azure Service Bus queues with background web jobs for reliable async processing, and built a multi-LLM orchestration framework with intelligent routing, automatic failover, retry logic, and rate-limit handling across multiple AI providers.
I also integrated the platform with OpenAI, n8n, Zapier, Google Maps, and Microsoft/Google OAuth SSO, and added multi-language support starting with Arabic.
โช EduGradeAI
Sole developer. I designed, built, and deployed an AI exam-marking platform for a UK higher-education client โ empty repo to production, entirely on my own.
The application is Python and React/TypeScript, running on an Azure microservices architecture I designed: Azure Cache for Redis, Azure SignalR Service for real-time marking progress, Docker images, and a full CI/CD deployment pipeline.
The platform ingests student answer sheets, question papers, and rubrics, then uses OCR and LLMs to produce rubric-aligned marks and detailed feedback โ always with human-in-the-loop review before anything reaches a student. It syncs two ways with the university's Moodle LMS for submissions, grades, and feedback. Pilot results showed over 60% reduction in marking time.
Both platforms are live โ links are in my portfolio below.

HOW I WORK
I ask about the business rule before I write the endpoint. I write code the next person can maintain. And if something you've asked for won't work, I'll tell you during the call โ not after you've paid for it.
I'm in Lahore (UTC+5): full overlap with UK and EU working hours, and I regularly work US East mornings. Available 30+ hrs/week.
Send me what you're building and I'll tell you honestly whether I'm the right fit for it.
