About Me

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.
