A full-stack developer for your next milestone
I join founders and product teams to build features, repair difficult parts of an application, and take defined milestones from requirements to release.
Focused engagements from $500. Larger work is scoped in milestones.
Relevant work
The front end for a property and community management platform that serves two audiences from one codebase: an admin operations workspace and a resident self-service portal, built on shared, permission-aware primitives.

Read the case studyWhere I can help
- A founder needs technical execution without building a full engineering team yet.
- An existing team has a feature that touches UI, API, data, and deployment.
- A product has stalled because ownership is split across too many handoffs.
- You need remote contract capacity for a defined milestone or ongoing delivery.
What’s included
- A written scope with assumptions and acceptance criteria
- Production React and Next.js feature development
- Node.js APIs, integrations, and database work
- Code review and repair in an existing TypeScript application
- Progress updates tied to working software
- Documentation and handoff at the end of the engagement
What you are hiring me to own
I am most useful on product work where a clean user interface depends on sound application behavior underneath it. That includes role-based dashboards, multi-step forms, payment or messaging integrations, reporting, scheduled jobs, and products with several types of user.
On an existing team, I work inside the conventions that are already earning their keep. I will question a convention when it creates a real delivery or maintenance problem, but I do not arrive with a rewrite agenda.
Contract, milestone, or dedicated capacity
A defined milestone is usually the best starting point. It gives both sides a specific result to evaluate and keeps the first commitment sensible. Small engagements begin at $500. Product milestones and longer contracts are priced after I review the codebase or requirements.
Dedicated capacity is available when the product has a steady queue of full-stack work and direct access to the decision-maker. I do not sell a hidden team under my name. You work with me, and I state clearly when another specialist is involved.
Working across time zones
I work remotely from Lahore and can maintain planned overlap with teams in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia. Most communication is asynchronous, backed by short calls when a decision would take too long in a thread.
The goal is a calm delivery rhythm: written decisions, small releases, and fewer meetings that exist only to report that work is happening.
How we’ll work
Brief
Send the outcome, current product stage, deadline, and budget range. Links and screenshots are useful but optional.
Technical review
I review the scope, flag missing decisions, and propose the first milestone with a clear boundary.
Delivery
Work moves through small reviewable releases. You see what is done, what changed, and what remains.
Continue or hand off
After the milestone, we can plan the next one or leave the code in a state your team can continue.
Before we start
Can I hire you for one feature?
Yes. A feature with a clear boundary is a good first engagement, even when it touches the interface, API, and database.
Do you work with startup teams?
Yes. I can work directly with a founder or alongside an existing designer, developer, or product lead.
Are you available as a dedicated developer?
Dedicated contract capacity is possible when the expected weekly workload, communication rhythm, and decision ownership are clear. The first step is still a scoped brief.
Which technologies do you work with?
My main stack is TypeScript, React, Next.js, and Node.js, with PostgreSQL, MongoDB, MySQL, Convex, REST APIs, and common cloud deployment platforms.
