About

Saif A. Kayani, working independently from Pakistan.

Founders, co-founders, and operators hire me for one repeated workflow: the data movement, the report, the integration, or the extraction a person still checks.

FlowOps Automation is the working name of this practice. Change the name in one file and the site follows. The practice is still one person: me.

I take independent work remotely from Pakistan. You write to me, and I reply. There is no team, no account manager, and no published client list.

The roles below are employment history, as published on this domain. They are context for the kind of systems I have worked in. They are not clients of this practice, and this site does not speak for those companies.

I also publish SchemaSeed, a browser tool that makes random test data from a SQL schema. The public repositories under my GitHub account are listed on the portfolio.

The same work history is published as a CV at sakayani.com. This page is the practice. That page is the employment record.

Public profiles: LinkedIn, Upwork, and GitHub.
