FixCors
↗A developer utility for getting past CORS integration friction, with controlled API proxying.
Behind the build +
I designed and built FixCors as an independent micro-SaaS. The engineering work covers request handling, access controls, rate limits, and the operational demands of a proxy service.
NoBoxTVTelevision. In your browser.
OPEN STREAMS. ONE PLACE TO WATCH.NoBoxTV
↗Free browser-based television built around public IPTV streams and a controlled playback architecture.
Behind the build +
I separated playback authorization from media delivery. A NestJS and MySQL control plane selects sources and issues signed URLs; Nginx and MediaMTX handle the HLS streams. The architecture keeps source handling behind a controlled playback interface.
ALSO ON GITHUB
ADMS Server for ZKTeco
↗An ADMS server for ZKTeco SpeedFace terminals, so attendance hardware can push records straight into your own system instead of the vendor’s software.
Prescriptionly
↗A personal health app for capturing, storing and tracking your medication history, and sharing it with the people treating you.
Textile POS & Inventory
↗Software shaped around the realities of fabric retail: rolls, inventory, sales, and the details that generic POS systems miss.
THE JOURNEY
Different industries.The same curiosity.
From patient records to airline journeys and global logistics, I’ve spent 7+ years turning complex requirements into software people can use.

A BIT ABOUT ME
Curiosity isthe constant.
I’m Muhammad Rehan, a software engineer based in Dubai. I started with computer science at COMSATS and kept following interesting problems, from robotics projects to systems used in healthcare, travel, and logistics.
I enjoy the whole process: understanding what people need, making the interface feel right, and making sure the system underneath holds up. Outside my day job, I build products, contribute to open source, and write about what I learn.
