About

Engineered for scale,
designed for people

I'm a full-stack developer in Islamabad, Pakistan, with 3+ years of experience building web applications with Laravel, PHP, React.js, and Node.js. I build REST APIs, tune MySQL for speed, and deploy to production on VPS servers, so one developer can take a project from idea to live.

I currently work in a government IT Organization and take on freelance and contract projects alongside it. You can hire me directly or through Upwork for remote work with companies worldwide.

Services

What I can build
for your business

All Services

Full Stack Web Development

Freelance full stack web development with Laravel, MySQL, React.js and Node.js: business web applications, admin dashboards, REST APIs and VPS deployment, built remotely from Islamabad, Pakistan. I've shipped 20+ projects in 3+ years, from a government-scale Laravel system to a Google Calendar scheduling tool.

API Integration

API integration for Laravel and Node.js apps: Stripe and other payment gateways, Twilio SMS and email, Google Calendar, Firebase push notifications and custom REST APIs secured with Laravel Passport. Built, tested and documented by a Laravel developer who has run these integrations in production, from payment flows to a government-scale notification system.

Server Deployment

Server deployment for Laravel and MERN stack apps on DigitalOcean, Hostinger and other VPS or shared hosting: Nginx or Apache, SSL, queue workers, firewall and CI/CD, set up by hand and documented. I've deployed Laravel apps for clients and teams since 2023, including Snipe-IT on DigitalOcean.

Maintenance & Bug Fixing

Bug fixing and ongoing maintenance for live Laravel, PHP and MERN stack web apps: errors, failed integrations, slow pages and server problems on DigitalOcean, Plesk, cPanel and custom VPS. Each fix is traced to its cause, tested and written up. My work includes a government-scale Laravel platform, Snipe-IT and a legacy real estate site.

Fixing PHP Upload Error on Legacy Real Estate Website

A client from the real estate industry approached me on Upwork with an urgent request.
