Backend & AI Automation Engineer · Lahore, Pakistan

I build the
backend that holds

I’m Asad. I write the APIs, design the data layer, and wire up the automations that keep running long after everyone has gone home. Most of what I do is invisible when it works — that’s the point.

Testimonials

What it’s like to work with me

A few words from people I’ve built for.

Services

What I take on

Development and automation, both. If it runs on a server or removes a manual step, it’s in scope.

Development

Backend & API development

Node, Express and FastAPI services with MongoDB schemas built around your real queries — plus honest error handling and endpoints documented well.

Development

Websites & web apps

Marketing sites, dashboards and full products in Next.js and the MERN stack, deployed with the steps written down.

Automation

Systems automation

Your tools connected end to end — logged when it works, alerted when it doesn’t. No one copying rows by hand.

Automation

Shopify automation

Orders, inventory, fulfilment and reporting wired around the store and apps you already use.

Automation

Email automation

Transactional and lifecycle email triggered by real events, with a record of everything that went out.

AI

AI automations for business

Document handling, support triage and report generation, behind a plain API your team can call.

About

A note from me

I like the part of the job most people skip — the schema, the error paths, the thing that still has to work at 2am on a Sunday. Backend is where I’m most useful: Node, Express, FastAPI and MongoDB. And most of the value I add isn’t a new feature, it’s a manual step that quietly disappears.

Right now I’m finishing an AI-powered health-tech platform, learning UI/UX so my work looks as considered as it behaves, and going deeper on system design and AI agent architecture. I’d rather ship one thing that holds than five that need watching.
