About

From Pakistan to Doha.
From freelancer to CTO.

From a small tech corridor in Pakistan to the CTO seat in Doha — driven by curiosity, persistence, and a passion for building systems that scale.

I started as a freelancer delivering web and blockchain solutions for global clients, gradually evolving into a blockchain architect working across Web3 infrastructure, smart contracts, and full-stack platforms.

Today I serve as CTO of FANN and Co-Founder of VentraM Group — building a blockchain-native ArtTech ecosystem at FANN while launching high-growth technology ventures across the GCC through VentraM. My focus remains on product architecture, scalable platforms, and investor-ready technology built for global markets.
