About
Frontend developer with 3+ years building production React applications in TypeScript. Currently at OZ Developers, leading frontend work on Wise Wheels and The Wise Auction — data-intensive automotive products built on Next.js, TypeScript and Tailwind CSS, with large filtered listing pages, live auction updates over WebSockets, and detailed multi-section vehicle inspection reports. I focus on what makes a data-heavy interface usable: fast first paint, readable information density, faithful implementation of design, and interfaces that work by keyboard and on a phone as well as they do on a desktop.
Experience
Frontend Developer - OZ Developers Pvt Ltd — Wise Wheels & The Wise Auction - Lahore
(2025-11)
- Lead frontend development on a high-traffic automotive marketplace built with Next.js (App Router), TypeScript and Tailwind CSS, owning search and listing pages, vehicle detail pages, dealer pages and the car-inspection booking and reporting flows.
- Build data-dense interfaces — filtered vehicle listings, auction sheets, and multi-section inspection reports combining ratings, checklists, technical notes and photo evidence — keeping large result sets scannable on both mobile and desktop.
- Own a shared design-system layer (colour, spacing, type and radius tokens; reusable card, button and section primitives) so new pages stay visually consistent as the product grows, and migrated legacy sections onto it.
- Improve page performance through code splitting, lazy loading and image optimisation, and track the result against Core Web Vitals.
- Integrate REST APIs with React Query for caching and revalidation, and WebSockets for live auction bidding updates.
- Implement SEO and structured data across the marketplace — dynamic sitemaps, metadata and JSON-LD.
- Work day to day with designers, backend engineers and QA in a cross-functional team, reviewing pull requests and resolving cross-browser inconsistencies before release.
Frontend Developer - Hexamile Soft - Faisalabad
(2024-02 - 2025-10)
- Built and maintained the frontend of a social media application in React over a 20-month engagement — feeds, profiles and interaction-heavy components driven by frequently updating state.
- Implemented responsive layouts from design files and resolved cross-browser rendering inconsistencies across Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge.
- Improved load performance through image lazy loading, asset minification and reduction of render-blocking resources.
Associate Software Engineer - IfiaSoft
(2023-09 - 2024-03)
- Built frontend features for an inventory management system and an e-commerce web application, including product catalogues, stock tables and checkout flows.
- Implemented complex forms with client-side validation and clear error states, integrated against REST APIs.
- Used Git for branching, code review and release management within a small delivery team.
Frontend Developer - Grayphite - Lahore
(2023-01 - 2023-12)
- Delivered three production web applications in React — a Google Ads management platform, a gym management system and a company website — translating design files into pixel-accurate, responsive interfaces.
- Built the Ads platform's reporting and campaign-management screens, presenting campaign metrics, spend and performance data in filterable tables and summary views.
- Structured shared UI into a reusable component library, cutting duplicated markup across screens and shortening delivery time for new pages.
- Applied performance work — asset minification, lazy-loaded images, route-level code splitting — to keep dashboards responsive as data volumes grew.
- Ensured consistent behaviour across Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge, and across desktop, tablet and mobile breakpoints.
