Founding Senior Full Stack Engineer

— Hello World

I'm Ashfahan (ASH-FAA-HAAN), a self-taught founding senior full-stack engineer with 8 years of experience building performant, scalable web applications. I specialize in modern frontend ecosystems — React, Next.js, Svelte, Remix — paired with robust backend systems using Node.js, Express, and Prisma, and increasingly AI-powered features built with LangChain and RAG.

I've shipped products across healthcare, SaaS, and open-source — from early-stage startups to large-scale organizations. My focus: clean architecture, seamless user experiences, and AI-powered features that ship and scale.

Based in Pakistan. These days I'm leaning deeper into AI engineering — exploring agentic workflows, Anthropic and OpenAI APIs, and Python tooling alongside the day job. When I'm not coding, you'll find me watching anime or exploring the latest on Product Hunt.
