Hey, I'm Affaq.
I'm a Senior Software Engineer based in Lahore, Pakistan, with a strong background across frontend, backend, AI integration, and scaling web applications.
I currently lead a team of engineers at DevCache, owning architecture and delivery across multiple client products. Before that I worked at ZySoftec and Tintash. I have around four years of professional experience plus freelance work.
I'm passionate about building products and bringing AI into them. I love working with Node.js, TypeScript, Next.js, and LLM/RAG systems.
