Haneez Haroon — Tech Consultant & Full-Stack Engineer. local to prod, minus the drama.

I'm Haneez, a Tech Consultant & Full-Stack Engineer with 16 years across startups, agencies, and enterprise, most recently as Principal Consultant at Modus Create. I've architected robust, maintainable systems: modernising legacy platforms, building AI-driven tooling, and shipping products used by the world's biggest brands. Remote-first since 2015, based in Colombo, Sri Lanka.

01 / Story

From Fiverr gigs to Fortune 500 platforms.

I started where everyone starts: taking on anything. 100+ freelance gigs with 100% positive reviews taught me to ship fast and keep clients happy. Co-founding Catalyst Interactive, a digital agency doing branding, web, and e-commerce, taught me to build a business, not just software.

Going remote in 2015, years before it was normal, taught me discipline and communication. At OnePulse in London I helped build a real-time market research platform, handling back-end optimisation, DevOps, and infrastructure for household names I'd love to list but can't (NDAs are NDAs).

Then came nine years at Modus Create, where I went deep. Five years inside Pfizer's platforms: building the Canvas Web Builder for enterprise publishing, a dashboard stitching microservices together, and owning releases and hotfixes in production. Three years on Lightbox EDR's due-diligence platform, shipping custom features for JP Morgan Chase and Wells Fargo. Later, a Cardano token app for a Web3 startup and an AI code-quality toolkit orchestrating AWS Bedrock and local LLMs. Along the way I spent five years supervising final-year projects at the University of Moratuwa.

In 2025 I added an MBA to the toolbox, because the best technical decisions are business decisions too. I don't just build what you ask. I help you build what works.

That Modus Create chapter wrapped in mid-2026, and I'm now looking for my next role. Between the job hunt and the kids, I'm giving Motor.lk the serious push it's been waiting for: a motoring platform for Sri Lanka that fuses two of my obsessions: code and motorsport.

Karting & Motorsport

Motorsport enthusiast. You'll find me chasing lap times on the karting grid or daily driving a Toyota Chaser JZX100. Different discipline, same obsession.

Archery

Recurve bow, steady breath, one arrow at a time. Turns out the same patience that hunts down a stubborn bug also tightens a shot group.
