I'm Muhammad Asad Akmal, a Full-Stack Software Engineer based in Islamabad, Pakistan, with 3.5+ years of experience building production SaaS, AI-powered products, and scalable web applications using Next.js, NestJS, and TypeScript.
I specialize in monorepo and microservices architectures—shipping platforms that serve 10k+ users, from AI-driven recruitment tools and e-commerce to CRM and payment integrations. I focus on clean architecture, performance, and secure auth (RBAC, 2FA) so products scale reliably.
When I'm not shipping features, I stay sharp with the latest in React, Node, and cloud (AWS, Docker, CI/CD) and enjoy sharing what I learn with the developer community.
What I Bring
SaaS & Scale
Built and scaled platforms serving 10k+ users with Turborepo, NX, and microservices.
Next.js & NestJS
End-to-end ownership from UI to APIs: React, GraphQL, REST, and monorepo architecture.
AI & Integrations
AI-driven features, CRM (HubSpot, Jobber), payments (Stripe, PayPal), and workflow automation.
Clean & Secure
RBAC, 2FA, and maintainable code so products stay fast, secure, and easy to extend.
Ship & Iterate
