Software engineer & systems tinkerer based in Sukkur.
I build backend services, developer tools, and the occasional product that won't leave me alone. Currently shipping the v2 of a developer platform.
I'm Waqas — a software engineer with a soft spot for old computers, small teams, and software that gets better with time.
For the past years I've worked on backend systems, developer tools, and the unglamorous infrastructure that holds modern products together. I care about the seams: how systems handle the things they weren't built for.
Outside of work I write essays, maintain a few open-source things, and run badly. Based in Pakistan, raised in Sukkur, comfortable in five languages.
Have a project, a question, or just want to compare notes on something? I read every message and usually reply within a day.
