@salmaninayat
Full-stack dev, 5+ yrs. Shipped 9+ products end to end (TypeScript, Node, React, AWS). Solo-built lineecho.app, a live AI rehearsal app for actors.
What I'm looking for
I’m a full-stack engineer with 5+ years of experience, mostly in TypeScript: React and Next.js on the front end, Node and NestJS with Postgres on the back end, deployed on AWS or Cloudflare. Since 2022 I’ve freelanced for clients in the US and Canada, usually as the only engineer, taking products from architecture to production.
Some things I’ve built:
LineEcho (lineecho.app), my own AI rehearsal app for actors. You upload a script, pick a role and rehearse out loud while AI voices read the other parts. It runs speech recognition on the device and parses scripts from PDFs and photos with AI. 260 users and 5 paying customers, no ad spend.
A cloud phone system for a US agency on Twilio and Cloudflare Workers, delivered in under a month.
A client platform where I built the first version myself, then led a team of four engineers.
Video pipelines with FFmpeg on AWS Fargate and Lambda that turn uploads into adaptive HLS streams.
A Web3 gaming platform, built solo for a funded token launch.
I’m looking for remote contract or full-time work with small teams that work async. I’m in Pakistan (UTC+5) and can overlap 2 to 3 hours with US time.
