Freelance Next.js developer for hire

I build Next.js sites and web apps with React and TypeScript, from Figma files to production, for teams anywhere in the world.

Talk about your project

What I build with Next.js

Next.js is the framework I reach for first. I've used both the App Router and the Pages Router in production.

  • Marketing and content sites that editors can manage themselves
  • Web apps with accounts, payments and real data
  • Figma designs turned into accurate, responsive components
  • Animation and interaction with GSAP and Framer Motion
  • Rebuilds of slow or hard-to-change front ends

How the stack usually fits together

TypeScript across the codebase, Node.js or GraphQL on the back end, and Postgres with Prisma or Supabase for data. Stripe handles payments, Sentry catches errors, and Playwright covers testing.

If you already have a stack, I work with it. The point is a site that's fast, stable and easy for your team to change after I've left.

Who this suits

Funded startups and established brands that need a senior developer on a build, a redesign or an existing product, without hiring full time.

Questions

Can you work in my time zone?

Yes. I work remotely from Islamabad with clients in the USA, UK and Europe, and I'm flexible across PST, EST and GMT.

Do you work on existing Next.js projects?

Yes. I've updated existing components and shipped second redesigns on live products, as well as building from scratch.

Do you only do the front end?

No. I'm full stack: Node.js, GraphQL, REST, Postgres and the integrations around them.
