01 / Game Development
1st Place — LCCI IT Freelancing Awards 2024, Game Development
Lahore Chamber of Commerce; national entries; trophy presented by the Governor of Punjab.
Founder-led interactive systems studio
Engineering discipline. Game-development instincts.
ZedStack builds interactive systems where real-time 3D, product behaviour, and grounded AI have to work together.
01 / Founder-led studio
The studio follows the founder’s path: from civil and structural engineering into award-winning game development, then into production AI and real-time 3D systems.
That path shapes the work. Systems are defined before they are decorated. Interaction has to explain something, help someone act, or make a complex product easier to understand.
Waqas built ZedStack from Lahore, bringing an engineer’s discipline and a game developer’s eye for interaction to every engagement.
02 / Awards & recognition
Recognition earned through the work.
Selected awards and professional milestones, with the awarding body, year, and basis of recognition.
02 / Young Achievers
Young Achievers Award — Pakistan National Youth Conference 2025
Presented by the DG e-Governance, PITB; cited for bringing foreign remittances to Pakistan.
03 / Government advisory
Invited Expert — Punjab Sports Board & PITB
Invited to advise the Secretary Punjab Sports, DG Punjab Sports, and Director Skill Development PITB on upcoming training programs across Punjab — a full-circle moment for a journey that began with eRozgaar and PITB’s digital-skills programs.
04 / Professional standing
Upwork: Top Rated, 100% Job Success
Maintained from 2021 to the present.
03 / Operating model
One build at a time.
The founder leads architecture and AI behaviour on every engagement. A second discovery stream can run alongside delivery; a second production build does not.
Scope before production
One approved use case, written dependencies, acceptance tests, and explicit exclusions.
Prototype before the middle
The core interaction becomes visible early enough to review the actual system, not a slide description.
Failure is part of design
Grounded AI experiences include source handling, evaluation, and an agreed fallback—not confidence theatre.
01
Interactive front ends
Browser-based real-time 3D environments, kiosk interfaces, training interactions, and mobile product surfaces.
02
AI behaviour
Conversational characters, approved-source retrieval, fallback behaviour, and evaluation gates for agreed use cases.
03
Production delivery
Architecture, implementation, QA planning, deployment packaging, and operating documentation inside a written project boundary.
04
Selected work
A production WebGL 3D avatar system and Unity SDK designed and operated by ZedStack, plus end-to-end delivery of cross-platform real-time 3D products for client use.
05 / Project inquiry
Bring the problem and the constraints.
Share what you are building, who it is for, where it must work, and what would make the engagement useful.
We reply within 24 hours on business days; if there’s a fit, you’ll receive a private scoping-call link.
