Muhammad Shahbaz Siddiqui

Muhammad Shahbaz Siddiqui — known professionally as S. Siddiqui — is the founder and editor-in-chief of YourToolsBase, a free online tools platform built to give everyone access to accurate, instant calculators and utilities. I bring a diverse background in graphic design, animation, and video editing, complemented by expertise in SEO, content creation & management, PPC/Google Advertising, website management, Shopify store development, Amazon & Etsy store handling with listing creation, and web development oversight. With strong experience in project management and strategic planning, I specialize in delivering creative solutions and driving business growth. Currently, I am expanding my technical skill set by learning Full Stack MERN development and Python with AI. My career spans over a decade across agencies, nonprofits, and independent projects — from Senior Graphic Designer at Giftinghouse UK and Project Manager at Spotprint LTD in Bradford, England, to Webmaster & SEO Manager at Link News Network and Graphics & Animation Designer at Muslim Hands, UK. Earlier, I served as a Senior NLE/Animator/Designer at Creative Hands Productions, where I produced video campaigns for political, social, and charitable organizations across Pakistan. I also contributed to the nonprofit sector as a Program Officer at the Pakistan Centre for Philanthropy, managing communications and program delivery. Additionally, I founded The Tech Mantle — a digital project focused on SEO strategy, AI-assisted content creation, and WordPress site management. At YourToolsBase, I oversee all content, editorial standards, tool accuracy, and platform direction — ensuring every tool is sourced from authoritative references, built to be genuinely useful, and maintained to current standards. The platform was built on a simple principle: useful tools should be free, fast, and trustworthy — no logins, no paywalls, no data collection.
