I lead a team of ~30 developers, fostering close collaboration with DevOps, Data, and Testing teams to guarantee high-quality code. I actively address developer concerns and monitor their responsibilities, ensuring a well-functioning development process.I implemented PERT estimation within the team, significantly improving our project estimation accuracy.I designed and implemented an API-first system, the Trust Marketplace, that allows users to leverage third-party checks through a single API.I led the design and development of the Enterprise platform, which builds upon the Open APIs I created in 2017. Enterprise offers reference checks alongside two additional check types. This platform now integrates the additional background checks using our own Trust Marketplace platform.To facilitate continuous merge, I implemented the next iteration of our workflow using feature flags, initially managed with a local database before transitioning the team to LaunchDarkly.During the Voice Project (now Xref Engage) acquisition, I conducted the technical assessment.I led the hiring and development of a 19-person team in Lahore based in a shared workspace, within four months. This included collaborating with the CTO to identify and select top candidates, conduct interviews, and provide on-site training. Additionally, I proposed and implemented an internship program, successfully integrating four interns into the team as full-time members within six months. My efforts were recognized with the first-ever CEO Award in October 2023.In collaboration with the team, I achieved at least 80% unit test coverage for the entire platform, significantly improving code quality.

I led the design and implementation of several projects, including the next iteration of our platform.I proposed and implemented our Open APIs in 2017. This initiative enabled third-party platforms to integrate with ours using these APIs. This project emerged as the top revenue generator in fiscal year 2023.In 2018, we undertook a platform refactoring to enable multi-region support and compliance with GDPR requirements. Additionally, we implemented separate environments and adopted a new development workflow to facilitate smooth operation and deployments. I was tasked with technical assessment during the acquisition of the business called RapidID.

I was hired as the first developer, and second employee at the company.I rewrote the application in Django, moved it to AWS. During the following years I refactored the application into a platform with each app responsible for one clear role. Then I continued to work with the team to further refactor the whole platform into micro-services architecture. I wrote the first integration with Taleo then wrote the integration with Workday. This laid the foundation of the next 13 integrations that we had in the coming years. I wrote the first two 3rd party checks in the platform.
