I live in Milton, Ontario. I love developing applications. Web application development has been my passion for as long as I can remember - writing software, putting it online, and keeping it running.

These days I am exploring AI and vibe coding: using new tools to sketch ideas faster, ship experiments, and learn in public. I am also starting to look at mobile app development, after years of focusing on the web.

For more than twenty years I have been developing and maintaining applications as a volunteer for my community. That work never felt like a side project. It is how I stay close to the craft - listening to people who need a system, building it, and coming back when something breaks or needs to grow.

I grew up in Karachi, Sindh, in the Ismaili community, and came to Canada for university. I graduated from Dalhousie University in 2002 with a Bachelor of Computer Science (co-op). The very early resume from those first jobs is still on file if you want the period piece.

This site started in the late 1990s. It stayed online because of family. Riana was born in August 2009. Izaan followed in November 2010. Their picture and video albums are still here, just easier to look through. The old homepage portrait is in the archives.

When I am not building something or with family I have always liked music. There are a few live recordings on the music page, and newer videos on YouTube.
