Ali Malik

Hey!

I'm Ali Malik — a full-stack developer in Lahore building production React and Next.js applications for teams that need one person to own the whole thing.

Ali Malik

I work across the full stack — React, Next.js and Vue on the front, Node.js, Express and Nest.js behind it, MongoDB and PostgreSQL underneath, and Claude and LangChain wired in where AI earns its place. Most of what I ship, I ship alone, so the architecture calls are mine as well as the UI.

Shipping since 2022: a Salesforce security scanner, real-estate dashboards, a news platform, e-commerce — plus a VS Code extension used daily by a dev team. Available for freelance builds and full-time roles, remote or in Lahore.

Résumé

Agile in a team. Lethal on my own.

Experience

Where the hours went

Software Engineer

Contrive Solutions·Lahore, Pakistan

Security tooling for Salesforce — the scan engine, the IDE extension developers run it from, and the dashboard they triage findings in.

Key achievements

  • Refactored a Salesforce security scanner, reducing false-positive vulnerability reports by ~30% and cutting average scan time through engine-level optimizations.
  • Built a VS Code / Cursor IDE extension for real-time security scanning, letting developers detect and auto-resolve vulnerabilities without leaving their editor.
  • Redesigned the core scan runner engine from scratch, refactoring legacy code to improve modularity and cutting onboarding time for new engineers on the codebase.
  • Delivered and maintained the full product dashboard UI using React and Redux — the primary interface for scan results, project management, and reporting.
  • Integrated GitLab and GitHub APIs into the security pipeline, enabling automated scanning on pull requests.
  • Automated project-level Claude AI integration to streamline repetitive developer workflows.
