Hire · Full-Stack Developer

Hire a full-stack developer who ships the whole product, not just a layer

Front end, back end, database and deployment from one accountable engineer. I rebuilt a telehealth storefront so all 46 routes prerender to real HTML, and built a 60-route commerce admin that runs on a single SQLite file.

Frequently asked questions

Can one developer really handle the full stack?

For an MVP or a focused product, yes, and it removes the hand-off gaps between front end and back end. For larger builds I lead the architecture and bring in engineers from my team at Quickgen.

Do I own the code?

Yes. You own the repository, the infrastructure and everything built, with documentation so any competent team can take it over.

How much does it cost to hire you as a full-stack developer?

Every project is scoped on a free 30-minute call. Because I work remotely from Islamabad, you get senior, award-winning experience at rates well below US and UK senior market rates, and the prototype phase is quoted at a fixed price so your risk is capped.

Do you work with clients in the US, UK and UAE?

Yes. I have shipped for clients in UAE, UK, Australia and Pakistan, and work remotely with overlap for UAE, UK, EU and US East Coast hours.

Do you write the code yourself?

Yes. I architect the system and write the critical code myself. For larger builds I also lead engineers from my team at Quickgen Technologies, where I am Co-Founder & CTO.
