The person behind the
Support Engineer

Self-taught. Systems-minded. Genuinely curious about what breaks, why it breaks, and how to make sure it never breaks the same way twice.

"Every system I have built started the same way. Noticing something that could be better, and caring enough to do something about it."

How I got here

I'm the sole EMEA support engineer at Stack Overflow, owning every ticket and every P1/P2 incident across 100+ enterprise accounts.

I spotted the gaps, built the solutions, and documented them so they scaled beyond me.

That instinct didn't come from a traditional route. I started teaching myself to code during the pandemic out of pure curiosity, moved through customer-facing roles, and found my way into product support. Outside of work, I lead a Ramadan fundraising project that has raised over ยฃ50,000 and reached 2,000 families in Pakistan.

That same drive runs through everything I do. I genuinely want to make things better for people, and I always have.

Ramadan fundraising: ยฃ50,000 raised, 2,000 families reached

Every year during Ramadan, I lead a fundraising project that has raised over ยฃ50,000 and distributed 2,000 food bags to families in Pakistan. It started small and grew because I kept improving it: better outreach, better logistics, better follow-through. The same instinct that makes me build better support systems is what makes this work. I genuinely want to make things better for people.
