01 / About
I'm a Backend & DevOps Engineer based in Islamabad, Pakistan, currently building and operating backend services for Occy — an ATS/recruiting SaaS platform — at MernIT Solutions. I design Node.js/TypeScript APIs and own their full deployment lifecycle: CI/CD with GitHub Actions, containerized deployments on AWS (ECS Fargate, ECR, RDS, S3), and infrastructure automation across multi-cloud and on-prem environments.
Hands-on with disaster recovery and backup automation, identity-based canary rollouts, and credential/secrets rotation at scale. AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner.
Before this, I worked across DNS-security, DPI-integrated filtering, and business-intelligence platforms — building REST APIs and provisioning infrastructure across Google Cloud, VMware, and bare-metal at IotaScale, and backend services for a large-scale Power BI reporting platform at Meridian Software Technology Park.
02 / Stack
The languages, services, and tools I use to design, ship, and operate backend systems.
03 / Works
A mix of production systems and client projects — spanning backend APIs, DevOps automation, and infrastructure design.
Node.js/TypeScript backend for an ATS/recruiting SaaS platform, one of ~10 services running on AWS ECS Fargate across 5 environments. Designed an automated ClickHouse disaster-recovery pipeline, an identity-based canary deployment system (Cognito + ALB cookie-routing) wired into GitHub Actions CI/CD, and a scripted rotation program covering 25+ secrets.
