Professional Journey
Konnichiwa! I’m Masab Farooque, a CMS developer, SEO guy, content strategist, and game dev from Islamabad. I build fast, SEO-friendly websites using WordPress, Shopify, WooCommerce, and Wix. My stack is mostly PHP, MySQL, and JavaScript. I also work with APIs, automation, and speed optimization.
I make hyper casual games in Unity with C# and love adding AI to web apps using GPT, Claude, or Mistral. I run ReplayJutsu and Waifu Pulse, combining my love for anime, tech, and gaming. If I’m not coding, I’m scraping data, tweaking my setup, or lost in a manga.
