Associate Software Engineer, Acme One
He builds intelligent systems that reach production — and the conventional software they run inside.
An illustration of retrieval requests being checked against a user's authorization before results resolve — the same permission-aware retrieval architecture described in the Nucleus One case study. A control lets you switch which user is asking (Engineer or Guest) and see a different subset of records authorized each time.
Associate Software Engineer, Acme One — internship converted early to full-time
Sole engineer, Project-One module — database through frontend
Ranked second by commit volume across both platform repositories
The argument
Nucleus One needed a chatbot that couldn't become a way around its own permission model. RepoWarden needed a review agent that couldn't write to disk it hadn't been authorized to touch. Project-Ease needs one law firm's matters kept out of another's results, enforced server-side rather than trusted from the client. The pattern is the same each time: he builds the boundary, not just the feature — the conventional software the intelligent system has to live inside is treated as part of the engineering problem, not as scaffolding around it.
Selected work
Experience

March 2026 – Present
Associate Software Engineer
Acme One · Lahore, Pakistan
- Builds LangChain and LangGraph agentic pipelines inside Nucleus One: multi-step chains, tool-calling agents with custom tool definitions, stateful graphs, and human-in-the-loop approval steps, integrated with the platform’s ASP.NET Core 8 APIs and SQL Server data layer.
- Implemented LiveKit voice agents for a real-time AI assistant on a construction-site management platform, building the agent-worker architecture that handles live audio streams and LLM-driven responses over WebRTC.
- Sole engineer on the Project-One module, delivered end to end from SQL Server schema through ASP.NET Core 8 services to the React/TypeScript interface — ranked second by commit volume across both platform repositories on a seven-person team.
- Authored the HR-One service layer and deployed its SQL Server schema; built the platform authentication controller (JWT, RBAC, secure sessions); shipped TimeTrace to production with its backend reporting engine.
- Uses Azure AI Foundry for model management and evaluation, and runs Llama 3.1 locally through Ollama for offline inference and pipeline testing.
