FOCUS AI · Full-Stack · Cybersecurity · Automation
MISSION Build fast, useful and scalable intelligent systems.
I build software across the stack — from AI model architecture and inference to backend systems, automation engines, desktop applications and infrastructure.
My work is currently centered around:
- 🧠 Artificial Intelligence & foundation-model experimentation
- 🦀 High-performance backend systems
- ⚡ Local and CPU-efficient AI inference
- 🌐 Full-stack SaaS architecture
- 🤖 Browser and workflow automation
- 🔐 Cybersecurity and secure system design
- 📡 APIs, distributed services and data infrastructure
I don't just build interfaces. I build the systems behind them.
Open-Source Foundation Model Architecture & AI Platform

MAR is inspired by the Markhor and is being developed as an open-source AI ecosystem from Pakistan. It combines a modern decoder-only Transformer architecture with a complete application stack: a PyTorch training pipeline, CPU-friendly GGUF inference through llama.cpp, a Rust (Axum) API, retrieval-augmented generation, and a Tauri 2.x + SolidJS desktop app.

Open-source download manager written in Rust, with a Tauri 2 desktop app, a Manifest V3 browser extension for one-click link capture, and a headless CLI. |
One async-first Python SDK for many LLM providers — OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Ollama, Groq, Mistral and more — with streaming, tool calling, routing and RAG. |
|
Self-hosted cold-calling CRM with a browser SIP softphone, leads, campaigns, call scripts and a REST API. Works with SignalWire, Twilio, Telnyx or any SIP server. |
Zero-dependency Node CLI and AI-agent skill that audits a website and scores Search SEO and AI (GEO) visibility separately — then tells you what to fix. |
|
My fork of Chris Titus Tech's WinUtil — a PowerShell/WPF Windows utility for app installs, debloat tweaks, troubleshooting and Windows Update configuration. |
Real-time team chat built with React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS and Supabase — private and group chats, file sharing, presence, typing indicators and an admin panel. |
|
Python + Playwright tool with a CustomTkinter GUI and a CLI that collects public business listings from Google Maps and exports them to CSV. |
IpClean — IP Blacklist Remover Checks an IP against DNS blacklists, diagnoses reputation issues such as PTR records and port 25, and assists with delisting forms using Playwright. |
