Hi, I'm Moez.
I make ideas real.

A data engineer from Islamabad. moezkayy on everything. I build the pipelines, integrations and products that turn a good idea into something that actually runs.

My story

It started at Pakistan Air Force Cadet College Lower Topa. Around 16,000 applied; 60 of us got in, on merit alone. I spent five years there learning military discipline, and somewhere in between, I found computers.

I joined the computer club in my very first year and went on to lead projects for the college's annual Parents' Day, where they were reviewed by senior officers, including the Chief of the Air Staff. I earned house and college colours in computing. Outside the lab, I won the English debates in my final year, and captained the football team to a win that same year.

I was meant to fly. My eyesight said no, so I doubled down on computers.

I went on to a BSc (Hons) in Computer Science at the University of Hertfordshire, graduating with First Class Honours and a High Achiever Award. For my final-year project I built a generic data ingestor: point it at JSON, CSV or Parquet and it works out the structure, generates a schema and loads the data, in full or incrementally.

Before I'd even graduated, I was working remotely for Songtradr, a US music-tech company, on its move from BigQuery to Snowflake. My job was the part nobody wants: proving the data actually survived the move. That taught me the thing I still care about most.

Moving data is easy. Trusting it is the work.

In 2025 I worked with The Working Town, turning spreadsheets and forms into tools a team runs on. In 2026 I joined NACTA in Pakistan, where I automated a 6–8 hour manual ingestion job and built the layer that lets internal systems talk to each other. Now I'm also at Firefly, turning years of court judgments into clean, structured data.

On the side, I play a strategy game called WarEra, and I couldn't stop building for it. WarEra Buddy tells players what to do each day from live game data, and the Party Management Tool gives a party's leaders a fix list every morning. Both are live, both are mine end to end, and both run without me watching them.

Timeline

How I work

Not a demo. A system.

01

Shipped, not slides.

An idea only counts once it's live: a real URL, real users, running without me watching it.

02

Numbers checked against reality.

Buddy's formulas are tested against the game. The party tool matches Buddy to 0.03. At Songtradr I built the checks that proved the migration was right.

03

Built for the people who run it.

Clear reports, a list of what needs a human, and alerts when something breaks, so the work doesn't stop when I leave the room.
