Team Lead
- Lead the Lahore team building the next-generation Office Timeline suite: AI-powered PowerPoint and Excel add-ins coordinated by a shared desktop launcher.
- Own sprint priorities and coordinate releases with the wider engineering organization.

- Run code reviews and technical design discussions, enforcing architecture boundaries: presentation-only UI, launcher as coordinator, independent products, strictly shared libraries.
- Consolidated team coding standards into shared CLAUDE.md conventions, one source of truth for engineers and AI agents across the monorepo.
- Introduced a structured bug-investigation workflow (root cause proven before any code change, confidence gate, minimal-fix rule) that turns Jira tickets into agent-ready task briefs.
- Remain hands-on in C#/.NET, WPF and React/TypeScript on AI diagram generation and the React ↔ .NET bridge layer.
-
Backend Engineer
- Built LLM-driven diagram and flowchart generation inside PowerPoint using Claude structured outputs, clarifying-question flows and conversational refinement.
- Built evaluation harnesses that measure AI generation quality and gate changes before release.

- Prototyped MCP integration exposing add-in actions to AI assistants.
- Designed JSON-RPC 2.0 over named-pipe IPC between the WinUI 3 launcher and the .NET 9 add-ins.
- Owned launcher install, auto-update and licensing flows, integrated with FastAPI/PostgreSQL entitlement services.

About
A bit more about me
Senior Software Engineer and Team Lead with 7+ years across C#, .NET and Unity.
I started in game development and grew into full-stack .NET work, so I'm comfortable on both sides of the wire: the backend serving the data and the real-time client consuming it. Multiplayer games talking to ASP.NET Core APIs, AR/VR apps syncing through Firebase, Unity clients driven by backend features.
Today I lead the Lahore engineering team at Lucen Software, building AI-powered Microsoft Office add-ins: .NET 9 desktop apps with React frontends, integrating the Claude API for AI-driven diagram generation inside PowerPoint. Before that, I built an AI-assisted level creation pipeline for Fruit Ninja Adventure that cut level production time from 5–15 days to 1–5.
