Muhammad Najaf
I build fast, SEO-optimized web apps and cross-platform mobile apps. Concept to production, one developer.
About Me
Based in Islamabad, Pakistan, I started my engineering journey at Qnix Square building client-facing web applications and internal tools. From there I moved to CareXCloud, where I led full-stack development of a healthcare SaaS platform — owning everything from initial architecture through to production launch. Today I work as an independent contractor on Upwork, shipping production apps for startups and scale-ups across the US, UK, UAE, and Australia.
What sets me apart is end-to-end ownership. I take a project from the first whiteboard sketch through backend API design, frontend UX, React Native mobile apps for iOS and Android, deployment, and ongoing optimisation. I'm not just a coder who completes tickets — I'm a product-minded engineer who owns the full delivery from concept to production.
With 4+ years of experience across the full stack, I've shipped 9+ production apps for clients worldwide. I'm currently available for freelance and contract work — if you have a product to build, let's talk.
