The engineer who asks why before how.

I'm Ahtasham — Asham for short. A software engineer based in Rawalpindi, Pakistan, with a Computer Science degree from IIUI (class of 2025) and a current role at Octathorn building AI automation systems.

I started freelancing on Upwork in mid-2024, while still a student. In two years I built a Top Rated track record with a 100% Job Success Score — 16 jobs, zero bad reviews, clients who keep coming back.

My edge isn't just technical. I catch edge cases before they become bugs, suggest better approaches before you ask, and always hand over documented, maintainable code — not a black box.

I work Pakistan time (UTC+5) with evening hours that fully overlap US and EU business hours. Average response time: under 4 hours.
