"Empowering innovation through agentic AI & full-stack mastery—building intelligent, impactful solutions with passion & precision."
I’m Maheen Arif, a full-stack developer and AI enthusiast from Pakistan, driven by a passion for crafting innovative solutions that blend technology and creativity. My journey began with a curiosity for coding, leading me to build over 50 projects using tools like Python, Next.js, React, and AI frameworks like OpenAI Agents SDK and Google ADK. From developing Shopr, an eCommerce platform for machine embroidery, to creating a YouTube Thumbnail Generator that won the Governor House Quarter 3 $10 Challenge in 2025, I thrive on turning ideas into reality.
With no formal work experience, my portfolio—built on Next.js and React—showcases my self-taught expertise. I value perseverance, continuous learning, and open-source contribution, inspired by mentors like Sir Asharib Ali and Sir Hamza. A personal anecdote? Late-night coding sessions fueled by chai, debugging code while my daughter and son sleeps, dreaming of securing her future through my work.
Outside coding, I enjoy exploring AI automation, designing user-friendly GUIs, and sharing knowledge through my projects . My hobbies include photography, travel blogging, and playing word games like Hangman, which I’ve even turned into apps! My promise is to deliver intelligent, impactful solutions with precision, always pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.
