I build products people actually use, from the first commit to production.

Hi, I'm Nabeel. I'm a senior full-stack engineer based in Lahore with 4+ years of building web and mobile products for teams in Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, the UAE and the US.

Most of my days are spent in TypeScript. React and Next.js on the frontend, NestJS and Node on the backend, PostgreSQL underneath, and React Native when the product needs to live on a phone. I've shipped a drag-and-drop app builder, an AI system that spots defects on factory conveyor belts, a HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform and property platforms running on AWS.

I care a lot about using the right amount of architecture. On one greenfield project my team wanted microservices from day one. We had no users yet and a small team, so I pushed for a modular monolith instead. We moved faster, and everyone came away knowing when each approach actually makes sense.

Outside client work I'm building KLATH, my own menswear fabric brand, where I handle the tech, sourcing and operations myself. It keeps me honest about what a business really needs from its software.

Let's work together

From trainee to team lead, one shipped product at a time.

I started out building a form builder in React. Today I lead a team shipping web apps, mobile apps, realtime calling and AI features for a real estate business working across the US and UAE. Here's everything in between.

Senior Software Engineer (Team Lead)

I lead full-stack delivery across RHK Properties' product suite. It started with the CRM web platform, then the iOS and Android apps, and then OWNRS UAE, an app that helps property owners in the UAE manage their properties.

Own the architecture, delivery and deployment end to end in React, Next.js, React Native and NestJS.
Built realtime WebRTC calling from scratch, with SIP trunking through Telnyx and Etisalat, TURN/STUN, and NestJS microservices running on Azure Kubernetes.
Built the OWNRS AI assistant on the Gemini API using tool calling and RAG, so its answers come from the owner's real data and not guesses.
Mentor the team, run code reviews and set how the frontend and backend are structured.
Run internal sessions on agentic AI, RAG and AI-assisted development with Cursor, Copilot and Claude Code.
Handle deployments across AWS, Vercel, Azure and Tailscale-networked machines.

Supervised two client projects built on the platform, from requirements to handoff, working directly with the stakeholders.
Integrated third-party APIs and automated workflows that cut a lot of repetitive manual work for clients.

Trainee Software Engineer

Where it all started. I built the complete React frontend for Feedback Lift, a drag-and-drop builder for feedback forms that needs zero code.

Real products. Real users. All in production.

A few of the products I've led or built, from realtime calling and AI assistants to a no-code app builder. Each one taught me something about building software that has to work every single day.

Team lead/Web + iOS + Android/US

RHK Properties

Real estate CRM and marketplace with in-app calling

RHK Properties is a US-based platform for buying, selling and renting property, with a full CRM behind it for the agents. I led the team that built the web platform first and then the iOS and Android apps, and I own the architecture and deployments end to end.

Realtime WebRTC calling right inside the app, with SIP trunking through Telnyx and Etisalat and TURN/STUN for reliable connections.
Next.js frontend on top of NestJS microservices, containerized with Docker and running on Azure Kubernetes.
One backend serving the CRM, the agent side and both mobile apps.

AI/Mobile app/UAE

OWNRS UAE

An owner app with an AI assistant that knows your properties

OWNRS is part of the RHK family, built for property owners in the UAE to manage their properties from their phone. The part I'm proudest of is the AI assistant. Owners ask a question in plain words and get an answer based on their own data, not a generic guess.

Built on the Gemini API with an agentic workflow that decides which tools to call for each question.
RAG pipeline so every answer is grounded in the owner's real records.
Tool and function calling that lets the assistant pull live property data on the fly.

OMC Portal

Corporate services portal for Oxford Management Consultancy

A portal for companies setting up in the UAE, covering company registration, tax, visas and office setup. It's live and real clients use it every day. I led the build and set it up as a Turborepo monorepo with a Next.js frontend and one NestJS API.

Implemented authentication completely with Better Auth, with sessions shared across the site and the API subdomain.
Built VoIP calling into the portal.
Full lead pipeline with Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and Zoho CRM integrations.

Real-time defect detection on factory conveyor belts

Cameras take photos of products moving along a conveyor belt, and the system checks each one against predefined rules to catch defects before anything ships. Every defect shows up live on the dashboard.

Built as independent microservices: file uploader, main backend, AI inspection, post-processor and frontend.
Camera service written in C++ feeding images straight into the pipeline.
React dashboard that surfaces defects the moment they're found.

GA Universe

A drag-and-drop platform for building full applications

A low/no-code platform where people visually design and ship real applications without writing code. I architected the whole frontend and supervised two client projects built on top of it.

Angular with a reactive RxJS architecture that keeps the visual editor in sync in real time.
Builder engine and config-driven components that turn a user's layout into a working app.
Took two client projects from requirements all the way to handoff.

Healthcare/HIPAA/Telehealth

Zebra Doctor

Practice management and telehealth for clinics

A HIPAA-compliant platform that helps clinics run their day, with online booking, appointment scheduling, telehealth and patient engagement all in one place.

Online booking and scheduling flows for both patients and staff.
Telehealth integration so appointments can happen over video.
Built with healthcare privacy rules in mind from the start.
