Senior Software Engineer · Ruby on Rails · SaaS · AI Workflows
I’m a software engineer based in Lahore, Pakistan, with 6+ years of experience building web applications, backend systems, and SaaS products.
I work across product features, APIs, data pipelines, and deployment, with a strong focus on Ruby on Rails and practical AI integration.
- Rails SaaS: multi-tenant architecture, account isolation, APIs, dashboards, and background jobs
- AI product features: retrieval, embeddings, tool-calling, structured outputs, and human-review workflows
- Full-stack delivery: Hotwire and React interfaces, third-party integrations, testing, debugging, and production support
My current focus is Rails-native AI tooling and workflows with clear permissions, traceable actions, and human approval where it matters.
A Rails-native memory layer that stores original source text and makes it searchable with PostgreSQL full-text search and optional pgvector embeddings. Supports single-tenant and account-scoped use.
A Ruby gem for natural-language business discovery using Google Places and RubyLLM tool-calling, with filtering, scoring, and conversational refinement.
A local Ruby document-to-Markdown converter for AI ingestion, with support for common document formats and optional local OCR.
