Hey Dev.to 👋 I'm Ahsan Mehmood — a Full-Stack Developer and Co-Founder of XechTech, based in Islamabad, Pakistan.
My Journey
In 2017, I was working as a restaurant supervisor. By 2021, I had pivoted into software development full-time. Today, I've shipped 38+ production projects across 8+ organizations, serving clients in Pakistan, the US, and Australia.
What I Build
My core stack is .NET/C#, but I work across the full spectrum:
- 🖥️ Desktop: Multi-terminal POS systems, payroll, accounting tools (C#, .NET, SQL Server)
- 📱 Mobile: Cross-platform apps with Flutter (Booktionary, EstiMate Pro, DLP App)
- 🌐 Web: React, Laravel, Node.js, TypeScript (pal.gov.pk, xechtech.com)
- 🤖 AI: AutoCAD AI Agent, Gemini PC-Commander, LLM-powered workflows
- 🏗️ Engineering: 7+ structural tools for RPEQ-certified projects in Australia
My Company: XechTech
I co-founded XechTech in 2021 with my partner Aaqib Saleem. We build high-end software solutions — from RestoCare+ (a restaurant POS system with thermal printing and kitchen displays) to AI-powered PDF automation tools.
Key Projects
| Project | What It Does | Tech |
|---|---|---|
| RestoCare+ POS | Multi-terminal restaurant POS | C#, .NET, SQL Server |
| EstiMate Pro | AI-powered PDF automation | Flutter, Dart |
| Engineering Suite | 7+ structural analysis tools | C#, .NET, AutoCAD |
| PAL Website | Government website | PHP, Laravel, Flutter |
| Booktionary | Dictionary & book app | Flutter, SQLite |
| AutoCAD AI Agent | AI-generated floor plans | Python, Gemini API |
What I've Learned
The biggest lesson from shipping 38+ projects: Solve real problems for real people. The fanciest tech stack means nothing if it doesn't solve a pain point.
I built RestoCare+ because I spent 4 years in a restaurant and knew exactly what was broken. I built engineering tools because construction firms in Australia needed calculations done faster. Every successful project started with understanding the problem deeply.
What's Next
I'm currently focused on:
- AI integration into traditional business software
- Growing XechTech's client base internationally
- Sharing what I've learned through writing here on Dev.to
