"Katpana Desert in Skardu is my favorite place in the world. This unique cold desert, situated at 2,226 meters above sea level, is one of the highest deserts on Earth. Its pristine white sand dunes, surrounded by snow-capped mountains, create a surreal landscape that inspired me to use its name for my portfolio domain. Feel free to connect with me for any information about visiting Katpana Desert or planning a tour to explore the beautiful Skardu region."

About Me

Results-driven Senior Software Engineer with expertise in full-stack development using React JS, React Native, Node JS, Express JS, and Angular. Proven track record of delivering scalable solutions across diverse industries, including AgriTech, SaaS, and mobile applications. Adept at working independently and within cross-functional teams to build high-quality software products.

I am highly interested in exploring the potential of machine learning, particularly in the context of remote sensing for AgriTech applications. While I am not currently working directly in machine learning, I have a basic understanding of AI concepts and aspire to leverage them for generating reports such as plant health, stress levels, harvest monitoring, and crop classification.
