Senior full stack and AI developer
I build it, then I stay to run it.
I build platforms that keep running for years, AI products grounded in real data rather than general model knowledge, and automation that nobody has to watch.
Most of my work is long engagements with a small number of clients: 23 of 39 Upwork contracts came from people who had already hired me once, and every client relationship has passed 90 days. I take projects end to end, from the architecture through to being the person who gets called when production misbehaves.

Independent work
Work nobody commissioned. It is where the tools I actually use come from, and where anything I want to understand properly gets built rather than read about.

Web Developer Intern
Riphah International University
Riphah International University offered me the opportunity to work on building an alumni management system for them. The university will use this system to manage its alumni where they can connect with them, volunteer on events, post updates, and communicate with each other. I was excited to take on the project and help the university strengthen its relationship with its graduates.

Freelancer
Where the first paid work landed, in March 2021. Seventeen orders completed at a 5.0 rating across fifteen reviews, mostly Python automation and weather graphics, before the work moved fully to Upwork.
Client feedback
Verbatim from public reviews on completed contracts and orders, quoted in full and dated as they were left. Clients are not named, because the platforms do not record names, so the engagement is described instead.
Great work, once again. Program turned out better than expected. Great visualization tools in python with custom styling. Can’t wait for the next project (actually ongoing!) have used him several times and plan to hire again!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND !!
Another 5 star review - program was completed in timely manner and the outcome was far better than expected.
Very easy to work with when it comes to changes and revisions (my project was to combine images, reference an API and plot data & images, on a schedule) and he made it working in 5 days!
Highly recommend and will have more projects to do
Muhammad is extremely knowledgeable. I contacted him to debug my python script. He optimized it in fewer lines of code and all unit test cases worked. He quickly came up with a solution. Excellent communication. Great quality of work.

Python for Everybody Specialization
A five course specialisation covering Python fundamentals, data structures, consuming web services and REST APIs, relational databases with SQL, and a capstone on retrieving, processing and visualising data. This is the base the rest of my Python work is built on.
Coursera never produced a share page for this one: it was issued to a university account that did not transfer across. The link is the certificate as issued, and the credential ID is from the official source.
