Hire a Full Stack Developer — Senior, 6+ Years, Remote Worldwide
Remote worldwide · UTC+5 · frontend · backend · infra
I'm Adnan Ali, a senior full-stack developer with six years shipping complete products — the database, the API, the frontend, and the deploy pipeline. I've built and led a national food-ordering platform, AI SaaS tools, a car marketplace, and healthcare workforce software. Hire a full-stack developer who can own a feature from schema to pixel, so you don't have to coordinate three contractors and hope the seams line up.
I work remotely worldwide from Lahore (UTC+5), which overlaps European mornings and US East Coast afternoons — real daily overlap for standups and reviews. My core stack is Next.js, React, Node.js, NestJS, TypeScript, and PostgreSQL, deployed on AWS with Docker. I take greenfield builds, rescue projects, and long-term product work.

Product builds, end to end
From database schema through API to a polished, accessible frontend — one person, no seams.
Frontend
Next.js and React UIs tuned for performance, SEO, and accessibility.
Backend & APIs
NestJS and Node services with auth, validation, queues, and documentation.
Databases
PostgreSQL and MongoDB schema design, indexing, and query tuning.
Cloud & DevOps
AWS, Docker, and CI/CD pipelines so deploys are boring and repeatable.
Rescue & scale
Taking an existing app that's slow or fragile and making it fast and maintainable.
Three steps, no mystery
Intro call
A 30-minute call to understand the goal, scope, and constraints. No charge, no obligation.
Written proposal
A scope with milestones, a timeline, and a fixed or weekly rate — whichever fits the work better.
Weekly delivery
Work ships in weekly increments you can review, with a shared board and a demo link that's always current.
Common questions
- How much does it cost to hire a full stack developer?
- For freelance work I typically bill between $30 and $60 per hour depending on scope and commitment, or a fixed price for well-defined projects. Longer retainers cost less per hour. I always quote before we start, so there are no surprise invoices.
- What does your stack cover?
- Next.js and React on the front, Node.js and NestJS on the back, PostgreSQL and MongoDB for data, and AWS with Docker for deploys — all in TypeScript. If your stack differs slightly, I adapt; the fundamentals carry over.
- Do you work with US and EU timezones?
- Yes. I'm in Lahore (UTC+5), which overlaps EU mornings and US East Coast afternoons. I keep a few hours of daily live overlap for standups, pairing, and reviews, and I'm flexible on exact hours for the right project.
- Can one full-stack developer really build the whole thing?
- For most products, yes — and it's often faster than splitting the work, because there's no handoff gap between frontend and backend. For very large scope I'll tell you honestly when you need a team, and help you shape it.
- Do you do both new builds and existing projects?
- Both. I take greenfield builds and I take over existing codebases — reading, running, and de-risking them before shipping changes.
