About Me

Hello! I'm Aziz Ur Rehman Badar, a Full-Stack Developer and Application Security Specialist with over 10 years of experience delivering secure, high-quality web and mobile solutions. I hold a Master's in Cybersecurity with a Gold Medal and a BS in Software Engineering. Over the years, I have successfully completed 200+ projects with a strong client-first approach.

I specialize in secure full-stack development using PHP, Laravel, Node.js, Express, React, Next.js, React Native, and Python. My experience also includes MySQL, MongoDB, Redis, Cloud Firestore, WordPress, API integration, and modern frontend delivery.

I enjoy building fast, reliable, and secure digital products, whether that means a SaaS platform, a web application, a mobile app, or a product that needs practical security baked into the implementation.
