Hey, I'm Zubair

Product‑focused software engineer with 7+ years building production web applications for startups and remote teams.

Now I focus on building independent products and documenting the journey publicly.

What I do best

Product engineering

I turn ideas into working software by balancing product decisions and technical tradeoffs from MVP scope to architecture and deployment.

Shipping production systems

I deliver reliable web apps with attention to performance, security, and maintainability.

Building in public

I publish honest updates: what I build, what fails, and what earns. Practical lessons, no fluff.

My Story

I started working remotely with teams in the US, Switzerland and other regions, shipping production apps. I handled everything needed to deliver value: defining MVP scope, building backends and interfaces, integrating services, and running deployments.

I studied Computer Science (2014–2018). While at university I took a web app course and began freelancing in June 2016. Early client work taught me to turn ideas into working products and focus on what works in production.

After graduating in 2018 I moved into full‑time product development. In 2023 I founded Worko Dev to help founders take ideas from concept to launch. That work improved my product judgment and delivery discipline.

In 2026, I’m focused on building and shipping independent products and sharing the journey publicly.

Goal for 2026 earn $100,000 in independent revenue by shipping products that deliver real value. I’ll share progress, lessons, and the decisions that matter.
