Senior Mobile Application Developer with 6+ years of experience building cross-platform and native mobile applications across OTT/streaming, fintech, e-commerce, and logistics — primarily serving the MENA region. I hold a BS in Computer Software Engineering from the University of Karachi, verified by WES and HEC.
At OSN — the MENA region's leading OTT platform — I lead mobile development across iOS (SwiftUI) and React Native, delivering subscription flows, payment gateways, and DRM-protected streaming to millions of subscribers. I've driven measurable stability gains through Conviva analytics, Crashlytics-backed crash reduction, and targeted memory and battery performance optimizations.
My core stack spans React Native, SwiftUI, TypeScript, Redux Toolkit, AWS (S3, Chime), MMKV, and CI/CD via Fastlane and Azure DevOps. I have shipped production apps across regulated domains including fintech, OTT/DRM, on-demand services, and white-label platforms.
