About

I’m Haroon, a software engineer in Lahore working remotely with teams in the US, UK and Pakistan.

Background

I’m Haroon, a software engineer based in Lahore. I started out on the MERN stack and moved steadily toward the backend. These days most of my time goes into Ruby on Rails services, AWS infrastructure, Docker and the CI/CD pipelines that ship them.

I like owning a system end to end: the data model, the API, the deploy and the page a customer actually loads. That includes the unglamorous work, like upgrading a legacy Rails codebase while the product stays live. Outside client work I build with Next.js, Astro and React Native.
