Products used by real businesses.

From an AI thumbnail generator I built alone, front end to API, to enterprise asset management and pilgrim taxi bookings. On most of the client work, I was the only frontend developer.

Eyecatch AI

1 / 7
Eyecatch AI home page: "Thumbnails that earn the click.", the prompt box with niche templates and what the generator offers.
The generator with the Format & settings panel open: Instagram post, Reel and Story sizes, and the text-on-image switch.
A generated YouTube thumbnail with Download, Regenerate, Fullscreen, YouTube preview and Publish to community.
My gallery: search, Trending, Newest and Most liked sorts, style filters and the thumbnail cards.
The public community page in dark mode, sorted by Trending, with a like count on each thumbnail.
YouTube preview: the thumbnail placed among other videos on a mock YouTube home feed.
Settings: the Free plan, the Paddle test-mode note and the free credits used this cycle.

An AI thumbnail generator for YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, X, Twitch and Vimeo. Describe the video, pick a format, style and colors, add a reference image if you have one, and Google Gemini makes the thumbnail.

Notes

  1. 1Generator with 14 formats across 7 platforms, 16 categories, 5 styles and 8 color schemes, plus an Improve button that rewrites a rough idea into a prompt.
  2. 2Credits can’t be overspent: one atomic MongoDB update charges them before Gemini is called, and a failed generation is refunded, by a scheduled job if the server crashes mid-way.
  3. 3Auth in httpOnly cookies with rotating refresh tokens: reusing an old one signs that login out everywhere, and a password change ends every session.
Notes 4–6
  1. 4Pro and Ultra plans and credit packs on Paddle (in test mode), with signed webhooks that never apply a retried or out-of-order event twice.
  2. 5Gallery, a community feed with likes and a Trending sort, a YouTube feed preview, share links with image previews and a 30-day recycle bin.
  3. 6Express 5 API in TypeScript with Zod validation, rate limits and uploads checked by their real bytes; the app on Vercel, the API on Oracle Cloud behind Nginx.

04 / About

Trained in Karachi, shipping from Islamabad.

Zeeshan Ahmed, smiling, in a grey sweater.
Fig. 04.1 / Zeeshan Ahmed, Islamabad

I’m Zeeshan Ahmed, a full-stack developer in Islamabad, trained at Saylani in Karachi. I joined XtecSoft in 2024 to work on ioMoVo, then shipped 7+ production apps at IR Solutions, most of them as the only frontend developer. I built Eyecatch AI alone, from the React app to the Node.js API.

How I work

I like the hard, unglamorous parts of product work: permissions, data-heavy screens and layouts that have to work right to left. I usually own the whole front end, from structure and state to API integration, code review and deployment, working closely with designers and backend engineers. On my own products I build the backend too, with Node.js, Express and MongoDB.

Working with AI

Claude Code, Cursor, ChatGPT and GitHub Copilot are part of my daily setup for debugging, refactoring and writing tests. They make me faster; the architecture decisions and the final review stay with me.
