Full-stack software engineer with 6+ years shipping production web apps, based in Dubai. React, Next.js and TypeScript on the front end; Python (FastAPI, Django) and Node.js with PostgreSQL behind them. I own features end to end, from a fuzzy problem statement through architecture, release, and the messy part after launch. See the work first: geekzahra.site — live products, case studies and how each one was built. Most of my work has been zero-to-one for startups and SMBs. I co-founded Seamless.Sale, where I build AI sales automation across WhatsApp, Telegram, email and web chat handling 50,000+ messages a month with sub-800ms response times, and where automated lead qualification lifted pipeline conversion 32%. Before that I co-founded Borhan, a no-code platform for building AI tools, with Python REST APIs serving 100,000+ requests a day at 99.9% uptime. At Techisha I modernized a legacy Python/React codebase, cutting bundle size 45% and pulling First Contentful Paint from 2.8s to 1.1s. What clients hire me for: multi-tenant SaaS, REST API design, LLM and AI agent integration, performance work, and interactive front-end (GSAP, Three.js, WebGL) carried over from my game-development years. I work well with distributed teams and prefer clear roadmaps over long specs.

Industry Experience

Software & Internet, Media & Entertainment, Professional Services
    geekzahra.site — Portfolio, case studies & live products

    https://www.twine.net/signin

    Role: Design, build, and everything in between
    Stack: Next.js, React, TypeScript, GSAP, Three.js, WebGL

    My full portfolio, in one place. Every shipped product, experiment and case study, each one broken down into the problem, my role, the build, and the outcome — so you can see how I think before you hire me, not after.

    The site itself is a working sample: scroll-driven storytelling, an interactive stack explorer, and a 3D room built with Three.js.

    SlimPick — Scroll-driven product experience with WebGL

    Role: Creative development & frontend engineering
    Stack: React, GSAP, ScrollTrigger, WebGL, responsive design

    A two-formula, 30-day supplement system is almost impossible to explain in a spec sheet. I turned it into a scroll-driven day-to-night story with interactive ingredient scenes and a WebGL shader, with reduced-motion support throughout, handing off cleanly to Shopify at checkout.

    Game-development habits show up here: obsessive asset optimization, and animation that stays smooth on a mid-range phone.

    MiftahLink — AI lead-to-booking product for real-estate agents

    Role: Product & full-stack engineering
    Stack: React, TypeScript, AI assistants, WhatsApp automation, calendar integrations

    Dubai real-estate agents were losing leads between five different tools. I unified the whole lead-to-booking path into one product: AI-drafted replies, lead qualification, property data, calendar booking, and a shareable agent profile.

    An enquiry arrives on WhatsApp and leaves as a confirmed viewing, without the agent switching apps once.

    UAE Snagging — Property inspection & broker referral platform

    Role: Product & full-stack engineering
    Stack: Next.js, React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, interactive forms

    Both sides of a UAE property-inspection business in one product. Customers get guided quotes and defect education that make a genuinely complex snagging workflow feel obvious. Broker partners get referral links, conversion tracking, and commission handling.

    Two user journeys and five capabilities connected in a single platform, without either side feeling like an afterthought.

    CanAssess — White-label immigration assessment SaaS

    Role: Product & full-stack engineering
    Stack: Next.js, React, TypeScript, multi-tenant architecture, deterministic scoring, PDF generation

    Canadian immigration advisors needed assessments their clients trust and their regulators can audit. I built a multi-tenant SaaS platform where guided intake feeds deterministic scoring, then flows into branded client reports, advisor review and approval, and white-label tenant portals such as Canada Way.

    Branded report generation dropped from roughly 10 minutes of manual work to under 3 seconds. Complex flow, clean experience.
