Full-stack delivery

Services

I work with teams that need production-grade web software: clear APIs, solid data models, payments and logistics when required, and documentation your next engineer can pick up. Engagements are usually remote, scoped milestones or ongoing product work.

Hiring in Lahore or Pakistan, or looking for remote help with Next.js, Node.js, or a marketplace or SaaS? See the hiring overview for short pages that match common situations.

What I can take on

Grouped the way teams usually scope work: product build, backend and data, commerce platforms, then cloud and integrations.

Custom web applications & product engineering

End-to-end builds and feature work on SaaS, internal tools, and customer-facing products—aligned with searches like “custom web application development” and “hire full stack developer”.

  • Full-stack web application development
    React, Next.js, and Node.js applications with auth, dashboards, role-based access, and deployment pipelines.
    • Server-rendered and client-heavy UIs (Next.js App Router, API routes, edge-friendly patterns where it fits).
    • State management and data fetching (Redux, RTK Query) to cut redundant calls and speed up perceived performance.
    • Production-minded structure: env separation, error handling, logging hooks for ops.
  • SaaS & MVP development
    Taking an idea from prototype to something you can charge for—billing hooks, onboarding, and iteration loops.
    • Subscription or usage-based flows with Stripe and webhooks.
    • Org/team models, invitations, and admin surfaces when the product needs them.
    • Background jobs for emails, reports, and integrations so the web tier stays responsive.
  • React & Next.js front-end development
    Interfaces that stay fast as data grows—common briefs include “React developer for hire” and “Next.js development services”.
    • Responsive layouts, accessible components, and coherent design-system usage.
    • Performance passes: bundle awareness, caching, and realistic loading states.

APIs, backends & databases

Search-heavy areas such as “Node.js API development”, “REST API developer”, and “PostgreSQL performance optimization”.

  • Node.js & Express API development
    REST (and pragmatic GraphQL where warranted) services with validation, versioning, and clear error contracts.
    • JWT/session patterns, rate limiting, and integration with your identity provider.
    • Structured migrations (e.g. Knex) instead of one-off SQL in production.
  • Laravel & PHP API work
    Laravel backends, query tuning, and APIs that sit behind dashboards or mobile clients.
    • Controllers, policies, and queues for heavier work off the request path.
    • Swagger / OpenAPI-style documentation so frontend and partners can integrate confidently.
  • PostgreSQL, Prisma & data modeling
    Schema design, indexing, and query optimization when “database is slow” shows up in support tickets.
    • Prisma or raw SQL where control matters; migrations reviewed for zero-downtime where possible.
    • Reporting and aggregation patterns without locking the primary OLTP path.

E-commerce, Shopify & WordPress

Matches intent around “custom eCommerce development”, “Shopify developer for hire”, “Shopify Liquid developer”, and “WordPress website migration”.

  • Custom e-commerce & multi-vendor marketplaces
    Vendor onboarding, catalog, checkout, and operations tooling—not only a storefront theme.
    • Payment gateways (Stripe and similar), webhooks, reconciliation-minded logging.
    • Shipping and logistics integrations (aggregators, carrier APIs, webhooks).
    • Admin and vendor dashboards for orders, disputes, and payouts.
  • Shopify theme & Liquid development
    Storefront fixes, sections, and bespoke Liquid where off-the-shelf apps do not fit.
    • Checkout-adjacent UX, metafields, and performance-conscious theme changes.
    • Collaboration with merchants on requirements, staging, and launch.
  • WordPress builds, fixes & migrations
    Sites that must move between hosts, domains, or stacks with minimal downtime.
    • cPanel-style migrations, DNS and registrar cutovers planned with rollback in mind.
    • Plugin conflicts, performance basics, and handoff documentation.

AWS, integrations & hardening

What teams look for under “AWS developer freelance”, “Stripe integration developer”, “API integration services”, and “microservices architecture”.

  • AWS (SQS, ECS, S3, EC2) & Docker
    Async processing, containerized workers, and object storage patterns that scale with traffic.
    • Queues and workers for emails, imports, webhooks, and media pipelines.
    • ECS task definitions and sane secrets handling; Docker images for repeatable builds.
    • S3 uploads with pre-signed URLs and lifecycle rules where cost matters.
  • Third-party API integrations
    Shipping, notifications, calendars, maps—anything with docs, webhooks, and edge cases.
    • Idempotent webhook handlers, retries, and dead-letter strategies.
    • Firebase auth/notifications, Twilio, SendGrid, and similar when the product needs them.
  • Performance, refactors & documentation
    When searches sound like “make website faster”, “API slow”, or “no documentation”.
    • Profiling-guided API and query improvements; caching layers where they actually help.
    • Swagger/TOSA-style API catalogs so onboarding is measured in days, not months.

Frequently asked questions

Remote delivery, the kinds of projects I take on, and how to start a conversation—without the agency fluff.

Do you work remotely?
Yes. I work with teams worldwide from Lahore, Pakistan. Time zone overlap and async communication are normal for how I ship.
What kinds of projects do you take on?
Custom web applications, APIs and backends (Node.js, Laravel), Next.js and React front ends, e-commerce and marketplace work, Shopify Liquid and WordPress migrations, payments and third-party integrations, and AWS-style cloud delivery when the product needs it.
How do I start a conversation about a project?
Use the “Discuss a project” email link on this site. The subject line is pre-filled so inquiries are easy to triage. A short note with goals, stack, and timeline is enough to begin.
Can you work with our existing codebase?
Often, yes. I regularly join products that already have users—documentation, migrations, performance work, and feature delivery in brownfield codebases are a core part of my experience.
What is your typical engagement model?
Scoped milestones or ongoing product work, usually on a contract basis. Details depend on the brief; we align on scope, communication rhythm, and deliverables before writing code.
