Hi, I'm Umer Farooq.
I'm an independent full-stack developer with 9+ years building and modernizing business systems — the kind of software that runs quietly in the background of a clinic, a school, or a ticket office until it doesn't, and then everyone notices. I work directly with the businesses I build for, not through a layer of account managers. Based in Islamabad, Pakistan — working with clients remotely.
