3+ years on Node.js backends: Fastify, NestJS, MongoDB, and PostgreSQL.Backend Software Engineer with 3+ years on Node.js systems (Fastify, NestJS, MongoDB, PostgreSQL), focused on clear contracts and maintainable schemas.
How backends connect: edge, services, and data.
Approach
01
So client apps keep working as the product adds consumers and releases.
02
Data models shaped for how the product actually reads and writes data.
03
Cron jobs, webhooks, and integrations designed to behave in production.
04
Choices made for maintainability, so the next engineer is not guessing.
Clear API contracts, maintainable schemas, and Node.js services, so products can grow without constant backend rewrites.
I am a Backend Software Engineer focused on the server-side of products: API design, database modeling, and Node.js services that stay reliable as usage grows.
At Velzosoft I own the Bamrec backend: event management APIs for organizers running thousands of participants. Day to day that means schema design, query optimization, scheduled automation, real-time features, and third-party integrations on Fastify, MongoDB, and Firebase.
Earlier work covered multi-vendor commerce and food delivery backends. The same habits across domains: clear contracts, maintainable schemas, and code the next engineer can reason about.
If you are hiring for backend engineering (Node.js, NestJS, Fastify, MongoDB, or PostgreSQL) and need someone who treats production as the constraint, I would welcome a conversation.
APIs designed so clients stay stable across releases, with fewer silent breakages later.
Data models shaped for how the product actually reads and writes, not only for the first feature.
Automation and integrations built to behave under real conditions, not only in demos.
Backend work needs long, uninterrupted sessions. This desk is built for that. Select any instrument for the specs.

Station
Where schemas get revised, APIs get shipped, and production work gets done. A Multan workspace built for long backend sessions.
Production backends under real product constraints: API design, data modeling, and the decisions behind each system.
Events, commerce, and food delivery. Each role deepened ownership of APIs, data, and day-to-day production work.

LinkedIn recommendations from managers and peers I shipped with. Useful context for how I operate on a team.

LinkedIn ↗Engineering a solution properly before jumping into implementation
I worked with Waleed in our team, and he's one of those rare people who does far more than what's asked. He didn't just write solid code, he genuinely cared about the product.
He'd regularly bring me smart suggestions on how to improve things, and he had this great habit of thinking through and engineering a solution properly before jumping into implementation. That saved the team a lot of headaches down the line.
As his manager, what I valued most was how proactive and reliable he was. I could hand him something and trust it would get done right, and he'd often spot issues or improvements no one else had caught. He treated the project like it was his own.
Any team would be lucky to have him. Highly recommended.

LinkedIn ↗I never felt the need to explain every detail
I recently worked with Waleed on a Web3 project using Node.js and MongoDB for server-side operations. Waleed impressed me at every step. He quickly picks up new concepts, takes suggestions positively, and even shares his own ideas on potential approaches. He is highly skilled with Node.js and MongoDB queries. Waleed is creative, well-versed in his work, and understands tasks thoroughly, delivering efficient results. I never felt the need to explain every detail.
I'm glad to be connected with him, and I know I can always rely on him.
