Saqib Jabbar
Islamabad, Pakistan
I build the growth, automation, and analytics systems that let small SaaS teams operate like much larger ones.
A quick intro
What I care about
Most of my work starts the same way: a process that depends on someone remembering to do something manually. I like finding those and replacing them with something that just runs: a script, a workflow, a dashboard that answers the question before someone has to ask it.
I'm not precious about where the work happens. Some weeks that's SQL and BigQuery, some weeks it's coaching a sales team through their first cold calls, some weeks it's stitching together n8n, Apify, and the OpenAI API until a lead pipeline builds itself overnight.
What I actually care about is whether the number moved (MRR, conversion rate, hours saved), not which tool got it there.
