Work Experience
Full-stack React Native Developer
2026 - 2026
Third Tone Project Inc.
- Designed an AWS audio streaming architecture that delivered Spotify-like play/pause/seek/skip for 200MB+ tracks using HLS segmented delivery instead of monolithic file streaming.
- Implemented an audio processing pipeline that transcoded and segmented uploads into 2-second HLS segments with a 3-tier ABR ladder (64/128/256 kbps AAC) to ensure fast startup and smooth playback across network conditions.
- Deployed a CloudFront CDN in front of private S3 origin storage to serve manifests/segments from edge locations, minimizing latency and reducing origin load during peak playback.
- Secured streaming content by keeping S3 buckets private via Origin Access Control (OAC) and issuing time-limited signed CloudFront playback URLs (e.g., 10-minute TTL) from an authenticated API.
- Built a resilient ingest workflow using S3 multipart upload for large files and event-driven processing (S3 events → queue/worker → transcode job submission) to prevent failures on long uploads.
- Developed a “control-plane vs data-plane” split where the API handled only metadata/auth/playback authorization while CloudFront handled high-volume audio delivery, enabling scalable streaming without bottlenecking the back end.
- Integrated React Native playback using react-native-track-player with queue management, enabling fast skip/next/previous/seek behavior by streaming HLS manifests and requesting only needed segments.
- Optimized perceived responsiveness by designing client behavior for buffer-first playback and prefetching (fetching the next track’s manifest/initial segments ahead of time) to make skipping feel instant.
- Implemented operational observability by logging and tracking the full lifecycle of a track (uploaded → processing → ready/failed), enabling clear troubleshooting of transcode and delivery issues.
- Defined deterministic storage conventions and metadata models (track/category IDs, canonical S3 paths for raw + HLS outputs) to ensure repeatable processing, cacheability, and simple audit/debug flows.

Experience
Thrust.com
A cross-platform mobile application built using React Native and Expo, focused on delivering a polished, high-performance interface for a large non-Web3 system. I led end-to-end development across the full mobile lifecycle, implementing scalable architecture, responsive UI, and seamless API integrations. I collaborated closely with back-end and design teams to translate requirements into production-ready features, optimized app performance across iOS and Android, and contributed to CI/CD workflows for faster, reliable deployments. My responsibilities also included maintaining compatibility with new OS releases, writing clean and testable TypeScript code, conducting detailed code reviews, and ensuring best practices around performance, stability, and OTA delivery. The project benefited from my experience shipping multiple React Native apps and my expertise in Expo’s managed workflow.
Roomza
https://www.roomza.com/Roomza is a Next.js app that finds hotels and shows credit card perks and loyalty benefits at each property, deployed on Vercel. The consumer app integrates the Amadeus API for real-time pricing and uses smart matching (hotel IDs and city-based searches). The admin dashboard supports full CRUD across programs, statuses, and benefits, implements auto-propagation so that new statuses are accepted at hotels that accept the parent program, and manages complex hotel-program links. MongoDB stores hotel and benefit data and handles relationships. Enables users to search with filters, view live prices, and compare perks; the dashboard ensures the data stays accurate and scalable.
Ezyorganizer
As the full-stack and sole developer, I led the end-to-end development, testing, and deployment of a React Native-based event management app serving over 10,000 users. I also implemented a retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) service using OpenAI's language model. This service processes and cleans user data, runs it through an RAG pipeline, and stores vector representations in a database. These vectors enhance the model's ability to assist users effectively with task and event management, offering a more personalized and intelligent experience.

GetBlossom
https://www.getblossom.ai/I built a complete AI-driven matching portal for facial and dental surgeons using Next.js and deployed it on Vercel. Doctors had dedicated dashboards to manage their practice, upload verified before/after patient images, and provide voice-enabled descriptive tags. AI models analyzed facial and dental features, extracted embeddings, and generated similarity scores for each case. On the client side, users could upload their own photos, apply AI enhancement tools and a golden ratio filter to visualize potential improvements, and generate realistic before/after pairs. The system compared these user transformations with the doctors’ portfolios using OpenAI embeddings to calculate similarity, transformation, and procedure matching scores. The platform then recommended the most suitable surgeons for the desired results. This MVP was designed, developed, and deployed end-to-end within 30 days, showcasing an innovative and intelligent way to connect patients with the right aesthetic experts.
Preventa
I developed the MVP for Preventa, a React Native app, in one month, managing both the front end and back end. The app integrates with Apple HealthKit to fetch and store user health data on the server. It features an LLM-powered chatbot that provides personalized insights and allows users to interact with their data. I also implemented functionality to detect certain heart conditions, promoting early diagnosis and proactive management. This solution lets users use their health metrics in real time, improving health awareness and monitoring.
CoSafe
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cocrisis.live&hl=en&gl=USCoSafe is a powerful and user-friendly critical communication platform for alerting, managing and preventing incidents.
Designed by crisis management experts and customized for building safe, resilient, and sustainable organizations. The platform helps organizations keep employees safe and informed by ensuring that the right information reaches the right person at the right time. I was the front-end developer in charge of designing interactive UI screens. I also managed the API integration to organize and display complex, real-time data to the users.

Third Tone
https://apps.apple.com/pk/app/third-tone-project/id6746461917A React Native mobile audio streaming platform designed to deliver fast and reliable playback of large audio files (200MB+). I designed and implemented the full AWS-based streaming architecture, including secure audio storage, automated processing pipelines, and CDN-based delivery optimized for low-latency playback. I integrated react-native-track-player to support background playback, seeking, queue management, and smooth track switching.
The system used segmented audio streaming and edge delivery to minimize buffering and ensure fast startup times. I developed the APIs for track management, upload workflows, and secure playback access using signed URLs. This solution enabled the client to launch a scalable audio platform with a premium listening experience comparable to modern streaming apps.
