I build production web platforms with strong backend architecture and clean product UX.

Washington DC / Northern Virginia

Software engineer at Cvent building booking and checkout systems in distributed microservice environments.

I specialize in production-ready backend systems (Java, AWS, PostgreSQL, GraphQL) and ship polished full-stack products with clear business outcomes.

  • Humza Prints

    2026 – Present

    Featured build

    I designed and shipped humzaprints.com from first commit to live sales: a production storefront for custom framing and automotive fine-art prints with real checkout, fulfillment workflows, and repeat customers.

    Production commerce stack with active customer usage, order lifecycle automation, and admin operations tooling.

    • Built a polished Next.js + TypeScript storefront across home, shop, product, cart, and post-purchase flows used by active customers.
    • PostgreSQL + GraphQL power both the product catalog and CMS-style page editing so content updates ship without redeploys.
    • Stripe Checkout + webhook orchestration run the purchase lifecycle end-to-end, including order confirmations and first-time discount handling.

  • TripSova

    2026 – Present

    I designed and shipped Tripsova as a production-ready collaborative travel planning app: a shared workspace where people organize trip ideas, upcoming plans, and completed journeys while coordinating with friends.

    Live collaborative planning app with authenticated sharing, role-based access, and operational notification workflows.

    • Built a polished Next.js + TypeScript experience across landing, trip board, trip detail, sharing, and network flows so plans, links, and expenses live in one place.
    • Implemented PostgreSQL-backed trip, collaborator, invite, and feed models with secure API routes for create, edit, and share workflows plus granular access control.
    • Built AI-assisted planning using the Vercel AI SDK (ai, @ai-sdk/react) with streaming chat UX, guided trip starters, and structured suggestions for new and existing trip flows.
