Indie Entrepreneur | Data Analyst | AI Developer | Prompt Engineer (Vanderbilt) | Trader | Karachi 🇵🇰
Karachi, Pakistan
I'm an indie entrepreneur and builder from Karachi, Pakistan 🇵🇰. With 7+ years of professional experience across software development, IT infrastructure, and digital media operations, I now build AI-powered products that solve real problems — and document every step of the journey publicly. I currently work as an Archive Officer at GTV News HD, one of Pakistan's leading national news channels, where I manage large-scale digital media archives and IT operations. By night, I build, trade, and write. I believe the most valuable thing a builder can do is ship in public — letting the work compound over time.
