01 / About/ Craft

What I do.

I started on Android and kept going. Today I build Kotlin Multiplatform apps with Compose Multiplatform: local-first storage, modules that stay out of each other's way, and screens that are a plain function of their state.

Recently that has meant a 50+ module build, shader work in liquidglass, and pull requests to libraries other people depend on. I learned the basics at Appverse Technologies and finished a BS in Software Engineering at the University of Sargodha.

Under the hood.

Billing & sync backend (InvoiceOne)
The Laravel service behind InvoiceOne: Google Play subscription billing that acknowledges purchases and survives renewal and refund edge cases, delta sync that pulls a device's state in a fixed number of queries, and PDF generation for invoices, receipts and statements.Explore
50+ modules
Multi-module architecture
A Gradle convention plugin per module type, feature modules split into api and impl so no feature reaches into another's internals, and one composition root. Boring where it counts, so changes stay local.Explore
Maven Central
Shaders in Compose (liquidglass)
One AGSL/SkSL shader doing refraction, dispersion and rim lighting, fitted to measurements from real captures rather than tuned by eye, with a graceful fallback below Android 13.Documentation
