    Bio

    I’m a freelance web developer based in Pakistan, working across phpBB, WordPress, and custom web application development. I build community platforms end to end — from forum extensions and custom themes to full plugin suites and the backend logic that ties them together.

    My own projects are where I push hardest. I run PakGamersHub, a Pakistani gaming community built on a custom WordPress plugin suite (forums, shoutbox, live streams, gamer profiles, reputation scoring, and a marketplace), WordPress LobbyChat Plugin and LahoreChitChat, a chat-first community platform with real-time rooms and its own coin economy. I’ve also shipped on the Pi Network ecosystem and built smaller web apps and games along the way.

    On the freelance side, I handle the work most developers avoid: vBulletin-to-phpBB migrations, phpBB style and template conversions, custom Leaflet-based map extensions, WordPress font and theme migrations, and bespoke plugin development. I care about clean implementation, honest scoping, and shipping things that actually work in production.

    If you need someone who can take a community or web project from idea to live, I’d be glad to talk.

    WordPress Origin Story

    I always wanted to create a gaming community for myself as I normally stream a lot on youtube too so that’s how wordpress helped me out.
