01Background

A practice in enterprise
fundamentals.

Five years shipping software for the middle of the business — payroll, manufacturing, inventory, compliance. The unglamorous systems people only notice when they break, and the only ones a company can't run without.

Computer science at Lahore Garrison; now operating from Riyadh on ERPNext, Laravel and React stacks for organisations that take regulation seriously — ZATCA e-invoicing, GOSI payroll, Saudi labour law, Hijri calendars, Arabic-English bilingual UI.
