I’m Kamran Qadri — a product engineer. I lead product and engineering teams, and I still build: web and mobile software, and right now AI-native engineering workflows — coding agents, orchestration, and the judgment calls between them.
What I’m building and have built — my role, and why it matters.
Learning products for schools — an LMS with web and mobile apps used in real classrooms. I joined in 2022 to build the product function; VP of Product & Engineering since 2023.
A mission-control workspace for a team of AI agents — and a live laboratory for AI-native engineering. I’m building the product and the practice at once, on my own infrastructure.
Company intelligence for Pakistan: Orbit curates public sources into consistent, comparable company pages. I’m the CTO — I built the product and its technical implementation. It’s live as an early proof of concept.
A small macOS app for running local GGUF models — visible commands, health checks, resumable downloads. Built because I wanted local models without the ceremony.
Three threads run through everything: getting products shipped, keeping systems easy to change, and finding out what AI actually changes.
Turning ambiguous product ideas into software that actually ships: scoping, architecture, building, iterating.
Making software — and the engineering workflows around it — easier and safer to change.
Testing where agents and AI workflows create real leverage, and where human judgment still matters.
Field notes from real building — what I expected, what actually happened, and what changed.
From losing context between conversations to building a method that keeps decisions, plans, and implementation aligned.

Read the note →What running a real multi-agent system taught me about where the cost actually moves.
Read the note →A non-linear path from operations into software, architecture, engineering management, and product & engineering leadership — hands-on the whole way.
Started outside software; learned how real operational constraints shape systems and decisions.
From leading a full-stack team at Panacloud to CTO at O16 Labs — building systems and teams under constraint across early-stage product companies.
Led engineering teams and technical architecture in healthcare monitoring.
Joined to build the product function; VP of Product & Engineering since 2023 — product capability, engineering practices, and platform architecture as usage grew.
The technical story includes the people and communities that make better engineering possible.
I founded DevnCode in 2017 because Pakistan’s developers grow faster in rooms where real builders share real work. Nine years on, it’s a running ecosystem — city communities, meetups, TechTalks, and mentorship that turn attendees into speakers.
