Hi, I’m Shaharyar. Welcome to my corner of the world.
Introduction
Hi, I’m Shaharyar.
I’m a full-stack software engineer and GIS developer based in Rawalpindi, Pakistan. For 8+ years, I’ve built practical software for logistics, e-commerce, geospatial data, and AI-enabled workflows. My work spans user-facing products, backend services, and GIS tools—turning complex data and operational processes into clear, dependable applications. I began in Space Science before specializing in GIS and Remote Sensing, and that blend of scientific and engineering perspectives continues to shape how I approach problems.
Follow my path from Space Science into GIS and software, then explore the products and tools I’ve helped build.
Education
Where it started
I began with a Bachelor’s degree in Space Science at IST, then focused my graduate studies on GIS and Remote Sensing at NUST. That progression gave me a scientific perspective on spatial data and the geospatial foundation I now bring to software development.
Experience
Putting that foundation to work
My career has taken me from digital mapping and GIS analysis into geospatial automation and full-stack product engineering. I’ve built mapping and zoning tools, then contributed to products across education, logistics, e-commerce, and business operations. At Rosor Exploration, I develop QGIS plugins for both technical and non-technical teams.
Projects
Selected work
This collection turns practical workflow needs into usable software: privacy-first writing and capture tools, logistics systems, and GIS-enabled route planning. Each project brings its own mix of product thinking, engineering, and applied geospatial or AI capabilities.
Skills
How I build
My toolkit spans geospatial development and full-stack engineering—from QGIS, Mapbox, and spatial databases to web interfaces, APIs, and cloud deployment. I bring in AI and automation when they solve a concrete user problem or make a workflow more effective.

Compoose
Offline-first writing workspace · macOS
Compoose Desktop is an offline-first writing workspace for organizing projects and notes, editing rich documents, and turning meetings into searchable transcripts and useful summaries. Documents are stored locally, sync across Macs through iCloud, and can use on-device AI for translation and meeting summaries.
Organize work in a flexible Projects → Groups → Sheets structure, with local SQLite storage.
Write in a rich-text editor with tables, task lists, code, math, images, and formatting tools.
Record meetings or import audio, then create local transcripts and editable meeting summaries.
Use on-device Gemma models for document translation and meeting summaries.
Sync documents between Macs with Yjs-backed changes and Apple CloudKit.
Export finished work to PDF, DOCX, HTML, and Markdown.
A native macOS capture and annotation tool for selecting screen regions, extracting text and tables, masking sensitive details, and using Apple’s on-device language model—all without sending captures to Compoose Lens servers.
Capture a screen region from the menu bar, home window, or a global shortcut, then annotate with ink, shapes, arrows, and text.
Recognize text, faces, and barcodes on device, with Live Text selection over the capture.
Detect sensitive regions and apply manual or automatic mosaic masking before sharing.
Turn captured tables into editable cells, then copy or export as Markdown, TSV, or CSV.
Use Apple’s on-device language model to translate, summarize, explain, and ask questions about selected content.
Collect multiple captures and export them as a PDF, stitched image, or separate image files; send captures directly to Compoose.
