Launch one useful flow
- One core user journey, agreed before work starts
- Responsive React screens and reusable components
- Authentication and your database or API connected
- A live deployment and a clear handoff
I build Next.js applications that connect a useful interface to a dependable backend: marketplaces, SaaS products, dashboards and AI-powered experiences. I'm Usman Nadeem, a freelance full-stack and AI engineer in Lahore, Pakistan, with 12+ years of product work.
A fast start should not leave you with a fragile product. Choose a focused build or a rescue sprint, with working features to review at each milestone.
For founders who need to test a product with real users.
Scope and timeline are confirmed after reviewing the idea, designs and integrations.
For teams moving from a prototype to a usable product.
The first release is split into milestones. Third-party approvals and content readiness affect timing.
For apps that are slow, fragile or difficult to extend.
Start with the highest-impact issues, then agree any wider rebuild as separate work.
Send me your idea or existing app. I will suggest a realistic route and a custom quote, not a one-size-fits-all package.
Next.js is a practical choice when you want React's component ecosystem alongside server-rendered or statically generated public pages. I build storefronts, marketplace interfaces, SaaS applications, dashboards and content-driven sites, matching the architecture to the product rather than forcing every route into the same rendering mode.
Public pages may benefit from static generation, server rendering or revalidation. Authenticated screens need careful data access, useful loading states and predictable behaviour. I plan caching and freshness around what users need, keeping private data out of shared caches and secrets out of browser code. SEO also needs useful content, crawlable links, metadata and sound site structure; a framework alone cannot promise rankings.
I can connect your Next.js frontend to a Laravel backend, Node.js service, headless CMS or third-party APIs. Where it fits the scope, I also build server-side endpoints and database integrations. For React teams, that means one engineer who can work across the interface and the API contract. If your team prefers Vue, see Nuxt development.
12+ years of delivery, 500+ projects, 150+ clients and 95% repeat or referral. I work directly with you from Lahore, Pakistan, and stay involved from the first technical decisions through testing and handoff. You talk to the developer writing the code, not an account manager.
My focus is practical: understandable TypeScript, components your next hire can extend, clear ownership of data and integrations, and milestones you can actually review. I will tell you when a simpler solution is enough, or when an existing Pages Router app is better improved in place than migrated for its own sake.
Tell me what you are building, where it stands and your target timeline. I will come back with questions, a plan and a custom quote.
AI-assisted tools can help you reach a prototype quickly. Before you put real customers, payments or sensitive information through it, the code needs a review. I stabilise and improve AI-generated React and Next.js apps without treating a rewrite as the default.
A prioritised list of risks, bugs and maintenance issues, with an agreed scope for fixes.
Access control, exposed secrets and data risks come before cosmetic refactoring. Releases are planned to reduce disruption.
Regression checks, deployment notes and a clear route for the next developer to keep building.
Three selected projects: commerce, business automation and an upcoming product. Descriptions below reflect what is publicly visible today, not project-specific performance claims.


Wholesale and creator commerce
A commerce platform connecting wholesale buyers, brands and creators. The public site presents wholesale sourcing, dropship stores and creator collaborations.

WhatsApp business automation
A WhatsApp automation product whose public site describes AI replies, lead qualification and order confirmations, connected through Meta’s official WhatsApp Business API.
Project preview pending
Selected Next.js portfolio project. The public domain currently displays a “Launching Soon” page; a fuller product walkthrough will be added when the project is publicly available.
New React and Next.js apps, SaaS interfaces, marketplaces, storefronts, CMS-backed websites, dashboards, API integrations, upgrades, performance work and rescue sprints. The scope can cover the frontend alone or the backend integration too.
I choose based on the product and existing codebase. New builds can use App Router where appropriate. An existing Pages Router application does not need a migration just to deliver a new feature; we agree the value and cost before changing its architecture.
Yes. Server rendering and static generation can make public content available in HTML. I also review titles, descriptions, canonical URLs, crawlable navigation, sitemaps and structured data. Search rankings still depend on content, competition and other factors; I do not guarantee positions.
Yes. I can work with Laravel, Node.js, databases, headless CMSs and third-party APIs, or define an API contract with your existing team. Payments, notifications and authentication are scoped around your actual requirements.
Yes. Chat interfaces, search and document-based assistants can be connected through server-side APIs, with access controls, usage limits and logging. Model credentials stay on the server. The feature and its evaluation criteria are agreed before implementation.
Yes. I start with an audit of rendering, bundles, data fetching, authentication, caching and dependencies. Then I prioritise critical fixes and add regression checks around the flows affected.
No. Vercel is one option. Hosting depends on the rendering features, runtime requirements, budget and operational constraints. I confirm the target environment before committing to an architecture.
Every project gets a custom quote based on scope, existing code, integrations and acceptance criteria. Work is split into milestones with clear deliverables. There are no fixed prices on this page.
