"Zahid has successfully delivered and deployed HCM within our company."
That's from the client review that landed on my profile this week, for OneHub — the payroll and people-operations platform I built for TechFoundry. Monthly payroll with fiscal-year tax withholding, payslips and tax certificates on demand, expense reports read line by line by Claude, and one reporting layer so the dashboard, the payslip and the certificate always agree.
The word I care about in that review is "deployed". Delivered means the code works. Deployed means payroll runs on it every month, people are paid the right amount, and nobody has to call me.
The thing I'd do differently: the tax rules started out hard-coded. Fine for one country, one fiscal year — until it wasn't. We later pulled them out into a rules engine so the same payroll runs across countries without touching the code. Next time that's day one, not a refactor.
It's also a Contra-verified project — the work was paid through Contra, so the review and the case study are tied to the same engagement. Case study: https://contra.com/p/Y3EgrEUc-payroll-and-people-operations-platform

SOLENE Paris pt. 2
SOLENE Paris is an elevated perfume house that creates fragrances that are designed to be an everyday luxury. I developed a brand identity rooted in restraint, featuring a chic wordmark, a neutral palette, and minimalist packaging.
The bottles were designed to feel less like a display piece left untouched on a shelf, and more like something you'd toss in your handbag and cherish as part of your everyday routine. Texture and natural image shots were incorporated to make the brand feel human, effortless, chic, and lived-in. The result is a brand that feels quietly luxurious and entirely timeless. SOLENE's fragrances are the kind of staple that belong in your everyday life, not just on display.
