by a faith-based social crowdfunding platform where i engineered product systems.
Salam, I'm Nafis.
I'm a software product engineer working at the intersection of AI and the internet.
for the last seven years, i've moved between early product bets and systems at real scale. this site keeps the other half of that practice: notes and photographs about places, masjids, and the work between.
the work so far, in a few numbers.
300M+creators
indexed by an influencer marketing platform i built and led.
$250M+gmv
scaled through a pharma marketplace serving more than 10k companies.
25M+downloads
for Tarteel, an AI-powered Qur'an memorization app.
10+products
SaaS products and mobile apps built across teams and independent work.
my coding journey started in high school, fueled by a desire to take on challenges beyond the standard curriculum. freelance web development for local businesses became web apps, agency collaborations, and eventually products of my own.
over the past seven years, i've worked with startups as an engineer, founding engineer, and engineering lead. i've moved between marketplaces, mobile apps, infrastructure, and applied ai, collaborating with people who changed how i think about craft.
the common thread is simple: understand the real problem, make the difficult parts legible, and leave the product more considered than i found it.
teams and products i've helped build.
