Senior Backend Architect across FCA-regulated FinTech, Innovate UK-funded PropTech and esports platforms. I turn complex challenges into clean, maintainable software that scales.
I am a Senior Backend Architect with 15 years of experience building scalable, high-performance applications. My journey started in Pakistan, expanded through the UAE, and now continues in the UK.
I build backend platforms across fintech, healthcare, and enterprise products. I am Backend Lead at Verofy, an FCA-authorised UK payment institution, where I led the backend engineering for the Verofy Connect partner API and automated merchant compliance screening. Since April 2026 I am also Senior Backend Architect at PayFacLite®, its sister company. My focus is on elegant, maintainable systems and mentoring teams to ship production-grade software.
I care deeply about clean architecture, operational reliability, and thoughtful developer experience. The goal is always the same: build systems that are secure, observable, and easy to evolve as the business grows.
