Chris Mudrenko

Data Analyst at SimplePractice

Touseef is a person who brings great energy to a team. He approaches issues not with a “can this be solved” attitude but “how quickly can this be solved” attitude. Many instances in my time working with Sendoso, I was approached with a problem and I wanted Touseef on the case to help solve my issues, whether it be a bug, new feature, or other type of request. In one specific instance, I was at a wall where neither of us could recreate an issue, but Touseef said to me “If the client is facing an issue, it must exist and I must find the issue” and the value behind an engineer with this attitude is immeasurable. I give great recommendation to Touseef as someone who can help with all stages of a software.

Product at Lyft

I have worked with Touseef for almost a year and a half, he as Developer and I as Product Manager.

From the first moment to the last, Touseef has been the ultimate expression of “going the extra mile” as he not only focuses on meeting the expectations of the tasks but also seeks to get to the end of the problem. I believe this is one of the most important characteristics a developer can have.

I remember once in an informal meeting, communicating to Touseef that I was worried about a feature I had requested to another team that I thought would take a long time to get. The next day, Touseef had taken it upon himself to advance some of that functionality on his own, without letting go of his responsibilities. I had not asked him to do so, but he wanted to help me as a partner.

Touseef is reliable, friendly, attentive and an exceptional programmer, with an incredible understanding of code and its business implications.

Touseef has been a key player when we have worked as a team and I would definitely love to work with him again.

Let’s Talk About Your Website Project

Got questions?

My process is systematic and full-stack. It begins with a deep dive into your product and users, followed by structuring the site for clarity. I then design and build using a component-based approach (React) with a robust, scalable backend foundation (Ruby on Rails, PostgreSQL), ensuring the final site is production-ready.
My core stack includes Ruby on Rails for the backend, React.js for the frontend, and PostgreSQL for the database. I have extensive production experience with supporting technologies like AWS, Docker, Kafka for event-driven systems, and Redis for performance.
I apply the same engineering rigor I use for mission-critical systems like payroll and fulfillment. This includes pragmatic system design, writing strong unit and integration tests (Minitest/RSpec), optimizing for performance and scalability from the start, and building with clean, maintainable code.
Yes, I have extensive experience building and maintaining integrations. My background includes integrating third-party platforms (e.g., Salesforce, CRM systems), payment systems, and warehouse APIs, with a focus on robustness, handling API limits, and ensuring data accuracy.
It means I manage the entire lifecycle: from initial strategy and user flow, through UI/UX design and full-stack development, to deployment and launch. You get a single point of contact who handles both the product vision and the technical execution, similar to leading an internal engineering team.
I believe in close, transparent collaboration, mirroring my work with product and platform teams. We’ll have regular check-ins to review progress, align on priorities, and ensure the build meets your business goals, with your feedback integrated at every stage.
My goal is to deliver a stable, well-documented site you can confidently own. Post-launch, I can provide guidance on maintenance and iteration. For ongoing technical leadership or complex new features, we can discuss a retainer or project-based support model.
