Waqas Butt

I bring a diverse and extensive background in technical operations and software development spanning over 12 years. My journey began in the public sector, where I spent 12 years deeply immersed in technical operations. During this time, I played pivotal roles in designing, commissioning, deploying, and troubleshooting various desktop and web applications. My expertise encompasses a range of technologies including C#, JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. For the past 5 years, I've served as a team lead for the software performance assurance team, overseeing the development and maintenance of applications crucial for Leo and Geo satellite operations.

In parallel to my corporate role, I've embarked on a dynamic freelancing career over the last 3 years. Specializing in CMS platforms such as Shopify and WordPress, I've spearheaded the setup of numerous online stores, meticulously designing and developing features using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Liquid. My proficiency as a front-end engineer extends beyond CMS platforms; I've led the design and development of various websites, web apps, and even desktop applications.

One notable project I contributed to is the web application developed for LENKE Space and Water Solutions Ltd, a UK-based company in collaboration with the European Space Agency. This ground-breaking app utilizes machine learning models to calculate the carbon footprint of an area in real-time, leveraging satellite imagery. The backend, powered by Python Flask, seamlessly integrates with the React.js front end, enriched with OpenStreetMap and MUI components. The application is hosted on AWS servers using EC2 service, ensuring scalability and reliability.

Since 2022, I've also been part of the dynamic team at Mercurial Minds, contributing as a software engineer. My involvement in various projects includes front-end development for Paynest, a comprehensive payment management web portal for online schools in the Middle East (built on the MERN stack), CleanAsk, a web and mobile app solution for a US-based building cleaning service provider (developed in React.js and React Native), FinHub, a web portal for a leading cellular service provider (built with Angular and .NET), and MDM, a robust mobile device management software (developed with AngularJS and Java).

My rich and diverse experience, coupled with a relentless pursuit of innovation, equips me to deliver unparalleled results in web development. I am eager to leverage my skills and expertise to contribute to your innovative projects and drive impactful change in the digital landscape.
