A little about me

I'm a developer, an entrepreneur, an ambitious tweaker, author, traveller and over-scrutinizer 😝 . I work at RAZRLAB as the Chief Technology Officer for about 8 years now.

Since beginning my journey as a software engineer over 11 years ago, I've done remote work for agencies, consulted for startups, and collaborated with talented people to create digital products for both business and consumer use. I'm quietly confident, naturally curious, and perpetually working on improving my chops one coding problem at a time.

quotation-markI had the pleasure of working with Zubair on few projects and to me he was always someone who manages to get the job done. There is no "I can't" in Zubair's dictionary and that makes him a valuable asset to any team or company he joins. Going above and beyond to understand the problem at hand and provide a suitable solution considering all the circumstances is something that differentiates Zubair from lots of people I worked with.

quotation-markThe first impression I had of Zubair was that he "has the potential to change the world for the better". His strong can-do attitude can be overwhelming and borderline superhuman. He is an expert in his craft; a master in architecting software solutions, be that in JavaScript or anything he has his hands on. His positive attitude at work is contagious - it encourages others to have the same.

quotation-markZubair makes things happen! I had the pleasure of working with Zubair, a SW genius who is always reliable and responsive. I was always amazed by his ability to fix things in a matter of seconds when it was needed the most. I still remember one instance when I was in Angola on the last day of my project and some application functionalities where not working. I had 3 hours before my flight departs and as a last resort, I made a call to Dubai Office to get Zubair. Mr.Genius pulled the rabbit out of the hat and saved me from spending another day in Angola. :) During my 2 years with him, I never saw him missing any deadlines. He is easy going and at the same time very careful and cautious about his work. As a Software engineer or a leader, Zubair earns my highest recommendation.
