ABOUT ME
Hey there! I'm Mustafa, a passionate Backend Engineer and Game Developer from the beautiful city of Islamabad 🇵🇰. Currently pursuing my degree at SEECS, NUST, where I'm constantly amazed by the intersection of scalable systems, interactive entertainment, and cutting-edge technology.
I love building robust backend systems that power applications, crafting immersive gaming experiences, and diving into AI/ML when projects demand it. When I'm not debugging server logic at 3 AM or tweaking game mechanics (classic developer life 😅), you'll find me exploring new game engines, contributing to open-source projects, or building passion projects that bridge technology and creativity.

FEATURED PROJECTS
Here's a collection of backend systems, games, and full-stack applications I've built during my journey at SEECS and beyond. From scalable APIs to immersive gaming experiences! 🚀🎮
10GB data processed in <10 minutes
Engineered a high-throughput data processing system capable of parsing and structuring 10GB of raw data in under 10 minutes. Implemented parallel processing with optimized memory management for efficient table and record creation.
AI integration for enhanced backend analytics
Built a real-time analytics platform using machine learning to process and analyze large datasets when advanced insights are needed. Integrated with backend systems to provide AI-driven recommendations for business decisions.
Queries over a million records in <2 seconds
Developed a high-performance search engine with barrelling techniques, AI-powered recommendations, and NLP for natural language queries. Optimized to handle a dataset of 10 million restaurants while maintaining sub-2-second response times.
99.9% uptime achieved
Developed a scalable microservices architecture for an e-commerce platform handling high-traffic loads. Implemented caching strategies and load balancing for optimal performance.
85% accuracy, API-ready for backend integration
Created a sentiment analysis tool using natural language processing for backend applications requiring text analysis. Integrated with REST APIs to provide sentiment scoring for customer feedback and social media data when needed by client applications.
End-to-end encryption implemented
Built a full-stack real-time chat application with WebSocket connections, user authentication, and message encryption. Features include file sharing and group chats.
Processes media files in milliseconds
Developed a high-performance virtual file system with real-time synchronization and media processing. Features include drag-and-drop interface, media previews, folder navigation, search functionality, and end-to-end encryption for secure file storage.
Created a retro-style 2D RPG with turn-based combat, inventory management, quest system, and branching storylines. Features custom pixel art, chiptune music, and save/load functionality across multiple game sessions.

BEYOND CODE
When I'm not building software, these are the things that inspire and energize me. Life's too short to just code! 🚀
Gaming
Strategy games and indie titles fuel my problem-solving creativity. Currently obsessed with Singleplayer story and Competitive.
Game Design Research
Studying game mechanics, player psychology, and indie game development. Always analyzing what makes games engaging and how to create memorable experiences.
Photography
Capturing the beauty of Islamabad and beyond. Love street photography and the golden hour shots around the Margalla Hills.
Travel Dreams
Planning future adventures and exploring Pakistan's hidden gems. Next stop: Northern Areas for some mountain photography!
Open Source
Contributing to community projects and building tools for developers. Love the collaborative spirit of the open source community.
Gymnastics & Calisthenics
Building strength through bodyweight training and gymnastics. Love the discipline and mental clarity that comes with physical fitness.
Fun Fact
I believe the best code is written when you have diverse interests. Each hobby teaches me something new that I apply to my development work! Photography taught me about composition (which helps with UI design), gaming improved my strategic thinking, and fitness training enhanced my discipline and problem-solving persistence in debugging complex issues.
