§  02 / About

I'm Irtaza Hussain,
senior engineer,
platform builder.

I'm based in Lahore and work remotely with teams worldwide. I graduated in Computer Science from COMSATS University Islamabad and have spent seven years shipping production software: marketplaces, IoT telemetry, B2B SaaS, and web scraping at scale.

At ScrapeOps I work on Go proxy and parser services, Scrapy monitoring, and AI-assisted scraping tooling. Through Softekton I take on selective freelance work: backend systems, full-stack delivery, automation, and cloud projects for founders and platform teams.

Recent work includes PermisPop, Omnidots, Power Insight, Saleshoney, and platforms at Strategic Systems International. I focus on architecture teams can extend, code that is straightforward to change, and the operational side of shipping (monitoring, migrations, and handoffs) so systems keep running long after launch.
