// full stack software engineer · 5+ years xp
I build scalable, production-grade systems — from AI-powered platforms to enterprise middleware. MERN, .NET, IBM ACE, and everything in between.

// who i am
I'm Usama Zafar, a Full Stack Software Engineer based in Karachi, Pakistan with 5+ years of hands-on experience building everything from enterprise banking middleware to AI-powered SaaS platforms.
My journey started in 2020 with .NET and VB, evolved through enterprise middleware at Bank AL Habib — working with IBM Integration Bus, Oracle Service Bus, and complex banking systems — and has now grown into full-stack JavaScript, React, Next.js, and AI-integrated applications.
I like to consider myself passionate about IT and someone who knows how to adapt in every kind of environment. I believe every day is a learning process and an opportunity to grow.
// tech stack
Ten-plus stacks across two very different worlds — modern JavaScript product engineering and hardened enterprise middleware.

Little technical games and experiments I built for fun. Each one opens in a new tab — go waste five minutes, I won't tell.
