Full Stack & AI Tech Lead | Healthtech, HIPAA | Next.js, React Native
Building a healthcare or AI product and need someone who has already done it at scale? I was Technology Head at Sehatkahani, Pakistan's largest telehealth platform, for 6+ years: 7.2 million users, 1,500+ doctors and 410 corporate clients. I still advise the company as its technology consultant. I own the whole picture: architecture, security and compliance, the team, and shipping on time. Compliance is where healthcare products stall, and I've taken one through it. I led Sehatkahani's ISO 27001 certification and VAPT security testing, and I'm now leading its year-two ISO audit and DHA (Dubai Health Authority) approval for its UAE expansion.
