Full Stack Developer in Lahore, Pakistan
Lahore, Pakistan · on-site & remote · UTC+5
I'm Adnan Ali, a full stack developer based in Lahore, Pakistan, with six years building production web applications in Next.js, React, Node.js, and NestJS. I've led a national food-ordering platform for one of Pakistan's biggest restaurant chains, plus AI SaaS tools, a car marketplace, and healthcare software. If you're looking for a full stack developer in Lahore who can own a project from database to deployment, that's exactly the work I do.
I'm available for on-site and hybrid work in Lahore, and for remote work with clients across Pakistan and abroad. My timezone (UTC+5) suits local teams and overlaps the Gulf, Europe, and US East Coast when a project reaches further out.

Working with clients in Pakistan & abroad
Most of my work is remote for clients outside Pakistan — I've built and shipped software for a car marketplace serving the UAE and the wider Gulf, and delivered products and freelance work for clients in the US. Locally, I've led engineering for Lahore-based companies delivering platforms used right across Pakistan. Whether you're a Lahore startup that wants someone in the same timezone or an overseas team that needs reliable remote delivery, I've done both.

Common questions
- Are you available for on-site work in Lahore?
- Yes, for the right engagement I can work on-site or hybrid in Lahore, and I'm set up for fully remote delivery too. Most of my current work is remote, but I'm happy to meet local clients in person to kick a project off.
- How much does it cost to hire a full stack developer in Lahore?
- For freelance work I typically bill between $30 and $60 per hour depending on scope, or a fixed price for well-defined projects. For local clients I'm flexible on currency and structure. I always quote before we start, so there are no surprise invoices.
- Do you work with clients in the Gulf, Europe, or the US?
- Yes. I'm in Lahore (UTC+5), which sits close to Gulf business hours and overlaps European mornings and US East Coast afternoons. I've delivered remote work for teams in the UAE and the US, so cross-border delivery is normal for me.
- Can you work with a Lahore startup on an MVP?
- That's some of my favourite work. I help early teams scope tightly, build the smallest thing that proves the idea, and avoid the expensive rebuild later. I'll be honest about what to cut for v1.
