Full-stack developer for hire
Hire a MERN & Next.js Full Stack Developer
Have a Figma design, an existing codebase, or just an idea? I turn it into a production-ready web app, covering the interface, the API, the database, and the deployment, so you don’t have to coordinate several people to get it live.

Why working with me is low-risk
You get a clear scope before work starts, check-ins throughout the build, and risks flagged early instead of at delivery, with a deployed, documented product at the end.
- One developer from start to finish: design to code and code to deployment, with no handoffs between people.
- Built to be found: Next.js with server rendering, metadata, and a sitemap set up from day one.
- Clear communication: regular updates, with trade-offs explained in plain language.
- Documented handoff: you get the deployed product and the knowledge to maintain it.

How engagement works
Discovery
We talk through what you’re building, including the stack, constraints, timeline, existing designs, and integrations.
Scope
I put together a clear scope of what will be built and how, so there's no ambiguity before work starts.
Build
Development happens in stages, with regular check-ins rather than a single handoff at the end.
Handoff
You get a deployed, well documented product, not just a folder of code.
Rate and engagement model available on request during discovery.
What clients say
“Shoaib was incredible to work with! He quickly understood our project scope and delivered a pixel-perfect React website ahead of schedule.”
“Professional, detail-oriented, and responsive. Shoaib brought our Figma designs to life in Next.js flawlessly. We'll definitely hire him again.”
“We needed a pixel-perfect implementation of our Figma file in Next.js, and Shoaib delivered exactly that. Fast, focused, and detail-oriented.”
Frequently asked questions
What stack do you build with?
React, Next.js, and TypeScript on the frontend; Node.js, Express.js, and MongoDB on the backend — the MERN stack, plus PostgreSQL and Prisma when a project needs a relational database.
What kinds of projects do you take?
Full-stack web apps, Next.js sites and products, Figma-to-code implementations, and e-commerce builds. I don't take on WordPress, no-code, or design-only projects.
How do you work with Figma and existing designs?
I build directly from your Figma file, aiming for a pixel-perfect, responsive, cross-browser-compatible result rather than an approximation of the design.
Do you care about SEO and performance, or only UI?
Both. Next.js apps are built with server-side rendering, static generation, and Core Web Vitals in mind from the start, not added on afterward.
What do you need from me to get started?
Whatever you have — a Figma file, an existing codebase, a rough brief, or just a description of the problem. We'll scope the rest together in the discovery call.
How do I start?
