I'm a UI/UX designer based in Karachi. Before design, I spent four years writing code — PHP backends, mobile apps, late nights debugging things that wouldn't build. That part of me never left; it just changed roles.
These days I lead design at Circadia Health, building IoT-powered patient monitoring interfaces that clinicians actually rely on. Every misclick has consequences in healthcare, so I spend most of my time on the parts nobody screenshots — empty states, error states, loading states, and what happens when the data doesn't arrive.
The engineering background means handoff isn't a wall. I think in components, edge cases, and APIs. I sit in pairing sessions, write specs developers don't have to translate, and stay close to delivery until the thing ships. The best work happens when design and engineering pull in the same direction — that's where I like to live.
