Not a résumé — a timeline. December 2022 I sold my first landing page for $15. Everything that happened after is below.
Founded Profico (profico.site) — my own product & services company. After three years of solo freelance work, the natural next step: build a company that can take on bigger work, ship products, and compound beyond the hours in a day.
Took the security practice from CTFs into real bug bounty work earlier this year. Web-app pentesting, OWASP Top 10, responsible disclosure. Different muscle from client dev — breaking things on purpose is its own craft.
Built a set of AI-led automation tools — workflows that use LLMs to handle the parts of a job that used to take hours of manual work. Some internal, some for clients. The point is leverage, not novelty.
Took the lead developer role on Carview — a full-stack car-services platform live at app.carview.live. Owned backend integration and development alongside the frontend. The biggest single build of the three years so far.
Started participating in a few Capture The Flag competitions through 2025 — web, crypto, and forensics challenges. CTFs sharpen the parts of security work that reading alone can't teach: time pressure, weird inputs, creative attack surfaces.
Worked with an early-stage AI startup on their frontend UI — streaming responses, chat-style interactions, design-system-first. First time building a product where the interface had to make a model feel trustworthy, not noisy.
Shipped the frontend for the NTU Student Council site — animation-heavy, card-based layout, live at ntu-sc.vercel.app. First project where motion was a core design decision, not decoration.
Delivered a Figma-to-React conversion for Payperlead/Smart Penguin using Tailwind CSS. First project where I treated Figma as a spec and built a proper component library instead of assembling pages one at a time.
Delivered Cynotics — a practical-exams platform for students and teachers in India. Owned both backend and frontend. First project with real load concerns: full classes writing exams at once, submissions that could not be lost.
Started taking on projects that needed both sides — React on the front, Node.js on the back. Picked up Django and Golang along the way for the jobs that called for them. The shift from "I build interfaces" to "I build products" changed the kind of work I could take.
Opened Fiverr and Upwork accounts and started taking frontend work. The first few months were underpricing, over-delivering, and treating every order like it was my only one. The strategy is embarrassingly simple but it works.
Enrolled in the Software Engineering programme at Government College & University Faisalabad (GCUF). A four-year degree covering the fundamentals — algorithms, systems, databases — alongside the self-directed work that actually shipped things.
