Worked & collaborated with
I've done DevRel, GTM, automations, writing, and community work, usually at the same time. The throughline is simple: I like making things, and I'm too curious to stop at one lane.
Worked & collaborated with
I build things. Mostly because I want to know if they'll work. A lot of what I've made started as a "wonder if I can" on a random evening and turned into something people actually used. That's basically my whole career in one sentence.
These days the things I build are agentic systems: AI that takes real, scoped actions across connected tools instead of just talking back at you. I care a lot about getting the boring parts right, secure access, a human checking the high-stakes calls, because a confident wrong answer is worse than no answer. But I'm not only an "AI person." I've written, run communities, owned go-to-market, and shipped websites and dashboards. I'm hard to put in one box, and I've stopped trying.
I didn't follow a straight line. I spent my Electrical Engineering years figuring out what I actually wanted to do, and the answer turned out to be all of it: growth, DevRel, ecosystem partnerships, and engineering. Along the way I wrote tech columns that got picked up by Yahoo!, Google News, and Medium's The Startup. Kept building the whole time. Views and opinions are my own.
Agentic systems that do things: multi-step tool calls across connected services, built on n8n with Claude and OpenAI, not just text generation.
Scoped, least-privilege, multi-tenant access patterns: OAuth, MCP, webhooks, and audit logging where a confident wrong answer is the failure that matters most.
Confidence thresholds and review checkpoints so uncertain or high-stakes cases always route to a person before anything irreversible happens.
Developer experience, technical docs and GitBook references, SEO and CMS-driven connector pages, and the launch motion that turns a complex product into something builders adopt.
Notion, Zapier, and n8n systems that quietly run operations: onboarding, segmentation, lifecycle automation, all of it saving real time and money.
Regional leadership for Notion, Slack, Startup Grind, and Microsoft, plus partnerships locked with Slack, Notion, and Salesforce.
An unexpected occasion as I was invited by the National University of Sciences and Technology (NUST) to share insights in the form of an academic lecture tailored to empower final year students in the ever-evolving world of technology, product growth, and entrepreneurship. The lecture was officially a part of the course Entrepreneurship ME452A and was featured in the NUST Learning Management System for the final year batches of Computer Science and Software Engineering.
On July 2023, I took the leap of faith by introducing a brand new ecosystem in the Pakistan region surrounding the most favoured productivity tool i.e. Notion. I worked closely with NotionHQ team to create sustainable community ecosystem in Pakistan.
In late 2019, a few enthusiasts and myself worked to revive the inactive Microsoft Learn program by introducing the first city-wise Microsoft chapter in the Pakistan region called Microsoft Learn - Islamabad. I worked closely with Microsoft Seattle to revive this program which went from 20 members in 2019 to 300+ members till today.
In 2021, I was announced by Microsoft HQ as the next Gold Ambassador for the Microsoft program for the Europe, Middle East & Africa region as a testament to my continuous contributions towards Microsoft technologies. Gold Ambassadors are primarily Regional Leaders who have gone above and beyond to serve their community. This recognition later led to a nomination for the Microsoft MVP award.
RedBull Basement is a global competition where students build solutions through technology. My idea to solve a current problem was ranked #2 in Pakistan.
I was invited by team Reality Cheque for a podcast to talk about the recent developments in the startup, product, and technology ecosystem. Why Tech Giants Are Laying Off, Shocking AI Innovations and Startup Ecosystem, EP19 | Ft Usman Aslam.
