Engineering High-Performance Web Platforms, Custom WordPress Solutions, and Automated Systems.
I am Shahzaib Asif, a WordPress and Automation Developer with a Computer Science degree from Capital University of Science & Technology (CUST). I specialize in building custom web platforms, developing lightweight PHP plugins, automating workflows, and keeping server environments fast and secure.
Rooted in Computer Science & Practical Engineering
My approach to software engineering is grounded in core computer science, IoT, and systems principles. In 2025, my Final Year Project, VAT (Vehicle Anti-Theft Detection System), an IoT vehicle security platform combining ESP32, Flutter, and Firebase, competed at the 10th Excite Cup FYP Exhibition against university teams nationwide, winning 2nd Place Nationally.
Engineered as an advanced vehicle defense system, it features biometric fingerprint authentication for ignition control, covert ESP32-CAM intruder photo emailing upon unauthorized access, live GPS tracking, and remote mobile fuel pump cut-off. The project won Best FYP in the Computer Science Department at the NEXTGEN Corporate Summit 2024 and received the BALI Tech Innovation Award from SAUK Study Advisers.
