About
Senior Android engineer and consultant who ships production systems at scale, owns architecture, and leads delivery when your product needs more than a solo developer.
I am Muhammad Ishtiaq Baig, a Senior Android & IoT Engineer based in Faisalabad · Dubai · Remote. I have spent more than a decade shipping commercial Android apps, from grocery marketplaces and payment systems to streaming clients and IoT platforms in the field.
I stay hands-on: architecture, code, releases, and the hard conversations when production is on the line. Recognition and certifications below reflect consistent delivery, not vanity badges.
