Lahore, Pakistan · Search × systems × useful products

Technical SEO,
GEO & AEO
Specialist.

I connect search architecture, useful content and software delivery—supporting SEO, Meta Ads, Laravel and AI-assisted development with evidence, testing and careful implementation.

Professional roles since December 2023. The undated WBM internship is shown separately and is not used to inflate career duration.

01 / About

I work where search strategy meets the build.

I’m a technical SEO and AI-search professional with a computer science background. My work spans Pakistani, US-focused and Australian projects—from directory platforms and e-commerce sites to an AI-native testing product. I see search as one connected system: crawling, templates, internal links, entities, content quality and the code that holds them together.

I translate audits into developer-ready priorities, validate implementation, and use Laravel, APIs and AI-assisted development to build useful products and repeatable workflows. I’m especially interested in programmatic architectures that remain genuinely useful, and in GEO and AEO practices that improve clarity without promising citations or rankings.

01 · Mammoth-AI

AI software testing · TestMax.ai

Making a technical AI product easier to find and understand.

TestMax is an AI-native software testing platform. Within Mammoth-AI, my role is focused on its search layer rather than ownership of the product. The work connects technical SEO, programmatic opportunity research, GEO and AEO, and content architecture around genuine testing concepts. I contribute structured page recommendations, answer-led content patterns and signals that help search systems interpret the platform. I also work with development context so recommendations can be implemented and checked responsibly. Two dated, owner-attributed observations appear in the evidence section without being turned into performance claims.

Building My Own SEO Audit Platform.

A separate Next.js product associated with LocalBizzInfo—not the Laravel publishing and directory application.

Live working build · Next.js on Vercel

From a public URL to evidence-backed priorities.

The platform addresses a recurring audit problem: turning a crawl into a reviewable record instead of an unexplained score. Its public audit form accepts a website URL and page limit, then follows eligible public pages within a stated processing capacity. The implemented workspace stores crawl records and distinguishes completed, crawling and completed-with-errors states. A verified report presents measurement coverage, applicable category health, issue severity, affected-page counts, page coverage and methodology. Findings are diagnostic observations and recommendations—not guarantees of rankings, traffic or AI citations.

  • Public website crawl with a configurable page limit
  • HTTP response, title, single-H1 and indexability findings
  • Structured-data and business-entity checks
  • Visible-content and image/accessibility checks
  • Stored audit history, status and versioned reports
  • Issues, passed checks, methodology, pages and coverage views
  • Prioritized findings and downloadable PDF report

Current status: active working build. Some categories are explicitly marked “not measured” when a crawl lacks enough persisted evidence; roadmap modules are not presented as launched.
