Usman Z. Backend, Web and General Development

My name is Usman Z. and I have over 3 years of experience in the tech industry. I specialize in the following technologies: Ruby on Rails, GraphQL, Python, Django, PostgreSQL, etc.. I hold a degree in Bachelor of Science (BS). Some of the notable projects I’ve worked on include: WABI, Scratch Paper, Education Courier, Adalat.pk. I am based in Lahore, Pakistan. I've successfully completed 4 projects while developing at Softaims.

Information integrity and application security are my highest priorities in development. I implement robust validation, encryption, and authorization mechanisms to protect sensitive data and ensure compliance. I am experienced in identifying and mitigating common security vulnerabilities in both new and existing applications.

My work methodology involves rigorous testing—at the unit, integration, and security levels—to guarantee the stability and trustworthiness of the solutions I build. At Softaims, this dedication to security forms the basis for client trust and platform reliability.

I consistently monitor and improve system performance, utilizing metrics to drive optimization efforts. I’m motivated by the challenge of creating ultra-reliable systems that safeguard client assets and user data.

Experience Highlights

WABI | Ruby on Rails | Legal Platform

I led the team at Baro Technologies to develop a full-stack Ruby on Rails application. We began by implementing key features like user authentication and authorization, followed by Q&A sections, a rating and review system, internationalization, blogs, and Stripe integration. I conducted code reviews and collaborated closely with the development team to ensure a smooth production release. The platform is now successfully operating in both the USA and Ethiopia.

Scratch Paper | Ruby on Rails | Educational Platform

I led the Scratch Paper team and created a brand-new application using the latest Rails 7. I streamlined the development and deployment processes, and implemented best industry practices to maintain code quality, such as using RuboCop. Additionally, I improved test coverage by adding missing tests with RSpec. Client Background: Scratch Paper: an educational institution based in the USA that was seeking to improve their existing Ruby on Rails and React website. Their goal was to add an admin panel and enhance overall functionality to better manage educational content and user interactions.

Education Courier | Python Django | Multi-user Blog Application

As the lead developer, I was responsible for creating a comprehensive multi-user blog application using Django and Python. My role involved collaborating with the client’s marketing and content teams to ensure seamless integration and smooth operation. Client Background: The client, based in the US, was an individual who sought to create a dynamic blogging platform. With some initial funding, he hired me to turn his vision into a reality.

Adalat.pk | Ruby on Rails | Law firm application

I developed Adalat.pk, a comprehensive legal application as a solo developer, facilitating a platform where lawyers can register and offer their services, while clients can easily find and connect with them based on specific legal needs. Client Background: The client was a law firm based in the country, comprised of 20-30 lawyers, administrators, and barristers. At that time, they lacked an online presence. They approached us with the goal of creating an application to enhance their visibility and make their legal services more accessible to people across the country.
