About Me
I'm Muhammad Zeeshan, a full stack developer based in Islamabad, Pakistan, with 3+ years of experience building Laravel and React.js web applications for clients and teams around the world. My core stack is the LAMP stack (Laravel, PHP, MySQL) and the MERN stack (MongoDB, Express.js, React.js, Node.js), so I can pick the right tool for the job, whether that is a SaaS dashboard, a REST API or a full custom web application.
On the backend I write object-oriented PHP with SOLID principles and service-based architecture, build REST APIs with Laravel Passport, and use Livewire when a project needs a reactive interface without a heavy JavaScript stack. I design MySQL schemas, tune Eloquent queries and indexes, and add server-side pagination so large datasets stay fast. On the frontend I work with React.js, Redux Toolkit, Vue.js, Tailwind CSS and Bootstrap.
Right now I work as a Laravel backend developer on a government-scale system with multi-department access. There I secure features with role-based access control, send real-time notifications through Firebase Cloud Messaging and cut API response times. Before that I freelanced on Upwork and through referrals: I automated session scheduling with the Google Calendar API, deployed Snipe-IT on a DigitalOcean VPS, and cut a WordPress site's page load time by 30% by fixing its Core Web Vitals. Earlier, at Sublime Logics, I integrated payment gateways, which raised payment success by 15%, and added Twilio SMS and email notifications.
I also handle the work around the code: Linux server setup, Docker, CI/CD with Bitbucket Pipelines, SSH hardening with Fail2ban, and automated testing with Pest. I use AI tools such as Claude Code to speed up delivery, and I review everything before it ships. I hold a BS in Computer Science from Virtual University of Pakistan and have delivered 20+ projects. If you want to hire a Laravel developer, a React.js developer or a full stack developer for a remote project, send me a message through the contact form or find me on Upwork.
