FairGig is a production-grade freelance marketplace built to protect gig workers in Pakistan — drivers, riders, and freelancers — by giving them transparent earnings records, verified income proof, and a collective voice against platform exploitation.
What makes FairGig different from a typical marketplace is its mission and architecture. Most freelance platforms are built for clients. FairGig is built for workers.
Technical stack:
Next.js · FastAPI · PostgreSQL · Redis · Docker · Socket.IO · JWT Auth
Key features built:
Real-time chat between clients and freelancers using Socket.IO
Microservices architecture with independently deployable services
Certified earnings system — verifiable income records workers can use as proof
Anomaly detection — flags unusual payment deductions automatically
Community grievance system — workers can collectively report and escalate complaints
Downloadable compliance proof for legal or financial use
JWT-based authentication with role-based access
What makes it special:
FairGig competed at SOFTEC 2026 — one of Pakistan's largest university-level tech competitions — and placed in the Top 10 out of hundreds of teams. It was built by a 3-person team in a high-pressure competition environment and still delivered a fully functional, deployed product.
The combination of microservices backend, real-time features, and a social mission made this one of the standout projects at the competition.
My role: Full-stack development — Next.js frontend, FastAPI backend, PostgreSQL schema design, Docker deployment, Socket.IO real-time integration.

🌿 Built a cinematic landing page for a food & beverage consulting firm — with a custom frame-sequence animation as the hero.
Evaresst Agro helps founders, brands, and manufacturers take a product from recipe to retail — covering everything from formulation and QA to FSSAI compliance and supply chain. They needed a web presence that matched the craft behind their work.
Here's what went into this build:
✦ Custom hero animation — a hand-crafted frame-by-frame sequence that loads as the user lands on the page, setting a premium, editorial tone before a single word is read.
✦ Full-stack landing page built with React + Tailwind, deployed on Vercel — fast, responsive, and optimized for conversion.
✦ 6-service layout with clean iconography covering Product Development, QA, Market Strategy, Supply Chain, Regulatory Compliances, and Innovation & R&D.
✦ Visual product showcase — a real beverage lineup (Orange, Mango, Blueberry, Cranberry, and more) pulled from Evaresst's own lab output, rendered with color accuracy.
✦ Structured workflow section — 6-stage innovation pipeline made scannable and credible without being overwhelming.
✦ Numbers section, contact CTA, and sticky nav — all tuned for a B2B consulting audience that wants trust signals fast.
If you're a food brand, startup, or manufacturer looking for a web presence that converts — let's talk.
