01The story

Seven years of shipping, not theorizing.

2024Founded HurTech LLC

Master's & Bachelor's in Computer Science

I started writing code seven years ago and never really stopped. What kept me wasn't the syntax. It was watching something I built get used by real people the next morning, and fixing the rough edge before they noticed it.

Since then I've helped launch and scale a book-writing platform, rebuilt the front end of a car-rental service that handles millions of bookings, and put AI into products where it does actual work instead of sitting in a demo.

Most of what I believe about building is unglamorous. Scope the real problem before opening the editor. Ship the smallest honest version, then sharpen it with real usage in front of you. Write code the next person can read. Say what you'll do, then do it.

In 2024 I started HurTech LLC so I could take on bigger work without dropping the bar. It's a small, senior team I trust, and I'm still in the codebase every day.

A few things I've built.

Real products, real users. Here's the problem, what I built, and where it landed.

Folio

Property management with AI maintenance triage

Problem

Property managers were drowning in maintenance requests. Every leaky tap and broken lock landed in the same undifferentiated inbox, sorted by hand.

Built

I built the platform end to end: tenant and manager portals, the request pipeline, and an AI layer that reads each incoming request and triages it by type and urgency before a human ever opens it.

Result

Routine requests route themselves; the genuinely urgent ones surface first. Managers spend their time fixing things, not sorting tickets.

Book-writing SaaS, launched and scaled

Problem

A scrappy writing app needed to grow into a product that could hold up as its author base grew, without the experience falling apart under load.

Built

I led a small team through launch and scale on the MEAN stack: the editor, collaboration features, and the backend that kept them stable as usage climbed.

Result

Shipped the launch and kept it steady through growth. I picked up the team's "Best Team Player" award along the way.

Front end for a global car-rental platform

Problem

A booking platform serving millions of trips across markets had to stay fast and dependable. Slow pages on a global rental site cost real money.

Built

I worked the Angular front end and backend optimizations: tightening the booking flow, trimming load times, and smoothing the parts users hit most.

Result

A snappier, more reliable booking experience on a platform operating at serious scale.

Dashboard for a legal SaaS

Problem

A legal SaaS needed a login and dashboard that felt as serious and trustworthy as the product behind it.

Built

I built the front end, a clean and responsive dashboard, then brought UX suggestions that improved the product beyond the original brief.

Result

A five-star engagement. The client's words: an absolute rockstar who treats your project like it's his own.

Front end for an SEO platform

Problem

An SEO platform needed a front end that could present dense, data-heavy reporting without overwhelming the people reading it.

Built

I built user-facing interfaces for the platform, turning complex SEO data into views teams could actually act on.

Result

Shipped interfaces for a production SEO product used by real marketing teams.

03What I do

Full-stack engineering, with AI built in.

Not a list of logos. The work I get hired to do, framed by what it's for.

Products, end to end

I take an idea from schema to shipped UI: data model, API, front end, deploy. One person who can hold the whole thing in their head, so the seams don't show.

AI that does real work

Claude and OpenAI wired into the parts of a product that actually benefit: triage, drafting, search, extraction. I build the unglamorous plumbing (RAG, evals, fallbacks) that makes it reliable instead of a demo.

Front ends that feel fast

Interfaces that load quickly, respond instantly, and hold up on real devices. Accessible by default, with motion that serves the content instead of showing off.

Backends that hold up

APIs, auth, billing, and data that stay correct under load. Secure, observable, and boring in the way production systems should be.

04How I work

A simple way of working that holds up.

No mystery, no churn. Here's what working together actually looks like.

Scope first

Before I open the editor, we get clear on the real problem and the smallest thing that solves it. Fewer surprises later, no building the wrong thing well.

Ship in slices

Working software early, then improved against real usage. You see progress every week instead of waiting for one big reveal that misses the mark.

Code the next dev can read

Clean, commented where it counts, tested where it matters. When the project outgrows me, whoever comes next can pick it up without a rewrite.

Clear comms

You always know where things stand. Plain updates, honest timelines, and a quick reply, even if it's late where I am.

Syed is an absolute rockstar. I hired him to work on the dashboard for my SaaS product SwiftDocket, and he delivered beyond expectations. Not only is his front-end work clean, responsive, and modern — he also brought thoughtful UX suggestions that improved the overall product. He communicates clearly, meets deadlines, and genuinely cares about the success of the project. If you're looking for a frontend expert who treats your project like it's his own, hire Syed.

06The studio

I don't work alone.

HurTech LLC is my studio. When a project needs more than one pair of hands, I bring in a small, senior team I've worked with for years: engineers and designers who hold the same bar I do.

You still deal with me. The team just means bigger scope, shipped faster, without the quality slipping. One point of contact, a whole crew behind the work.
