About Faran

I'm a backend developer based in Lahore with 8+ years building PHP and Laravel systems for real businesses — not demos. That means governance platforms with strict access rules, care-management systems handling sensitive data, and e-commerce systems with complex referral logic. I write code that the next developer can actually read.
