Hi, I'm Zohaib Aslam

SafeToNet Limited · United Kingdom

Accountable for the full technology strategy at SafeToNet — a safety-critical platform protecting children in real time across Android, iOS, and AOSP. Leading a cross-functional engineering organisation spanning Android, Apple, AOSP, R&D, DevOps, Web, and Cloud Services to deliver AI-driven, privacy-first, security-centric products at scale.

• Define and drive the overall technology vision, architecture, and roadmap — aligning product innovation with child-safety, privacy, and evolving regulatory requirements.
• Integrate and optimise on-device machine learning models for efficient, privacy-preserving real-time inference across multiple mobile platforms.
• Establish and enforce privacy-first engineering principles including end-to-end encryption, secure data handling, and compliance with child data protection standards.
• Design and scale resilient backend systems and cloud infrastructure; own CI/CD pipelines, DevOps practices, fault tolerance, monitoring, and incident response.
• Collaborate directly with clients and internal and external stakeholders to translate child-safety challenges into robust, production-grade technical solutions.
• Build organisational resilience through knowledge-sharing practices, documentation standards, and ownership models that eliminate key-person dependency.
• Lead hiring, mentoring, and team structuring; cultivate a culture of accountability, adaptability, and continuous improvement across all engineering disciplines.

eyeora Limited · United Kingdom

Progressed from Principal Software Engineer to Technical Product Manager at a cutting-edge XR/VR metaverse company. Owned the full product and engineering lifecycle across immersive technology platforms while leading distributed teams in the UK and offshore.

• Designed and delivered a greenfield microservices architecture from the ground up — decomposing a monolith into independently deployable, highly resilient services.
• Led a full cloud migration from AWS to Google Cloud Platform, re-platforming core services with zero downtime and improved cost efficiency.
• Architected and built a highly scalable live streaming infrastructure capable of handling concurrent global audiences with minimal latency.
• Built automated media transcoding pipelines to process and deliver video content across multiple formats and device profiles at scale.
• Integrated real-time 3D experiences with WebGL, bridging the gap between immersive rendering and live backend data streams.
• Drove product strategy and roadmap definition, translating immersive tech capabilities into compelling user experiences and commercial outcomes.

Gaspar Technologies · Quebec, Canada (Remote)

Worked at the intersection of agriculture, technology, and artificial intelligence — building data-intensive platforms that helped growers make smarter decisions through real-world sensor data and geospatial intelligence.

• Developed full-stack AgriTech platforms integrating IoT sensors and field devices to capture live data on soil conditions, temperature, humidity, and crop health.
• Built AI-powered models to analyse geographic and environmental data, generating predictive insights for plant growth, yield forecasting, and early disease detection.
• Implemented GIS (Geographic Information Systems) functionality to visualise field maps, sensor grids, and zone-level analytics across large agricultural estates.
• Designed real-time data ingestion pipelines to process continuous streams from distributed IoT devices deployed across remote locations.
• Delivered intuitive dashboards translating raw sensor telemetry and model outputs into actionable insights for non-technical farm operators.

Encapsulate Technologies (Pvt) Ltd · Pakistan

Built something from nothing. Co-founded a software consultancy while still early in my career, assembling a team of engineers and delivering production-grade digital products for clients across multiple continents.

• Founded the company, defined its service offering, and grew it from a two-person operation into a functioning cross-functional engineering team.
• Delivered cross-platform web and mobile applications across e-commerce, logistics, and service industries for UK, US, and Middle Eastern clients.
• Wore every hat simultaneously — architect, developer, team lead, and client-facing account manager — building the instincts that now underpin executive leadership.
• Established development processes, code review standards, and delivery workflows that scaled the team's output without sacrificing quality.

Upwork & Fiverr · Global

Started earning commercially as a developer before finishing a degree — a deliberate choice that built real-world instincts no classroom could replicate. Served clients across the US, UK, Canada, and the Middle East.

• Built a sophisticated multi-vendor e-commerce platform for a UK retailer, handling inventory, payments, and fulfilment workflows end to end.
• Developed a remittance price comparison platform, aggregating live FX rates and fees across international money transfer providers.
• Delivered data-driven web applications across education, retail, and professional services — each time owning the full stack from database to UI.
• Maintained a consistent Top-Rated profile across platforms, built entirely on repeat clients and referrals — an early lesson in the value of trust and communication.
