Full-stack web & mobile development in Chitral
I'm Saqlain Amin — a full-stack web developer and software engineer based in Chitral, Pakistan. I design and ship complete web and mobile products, from database schema to pixel-perfect UI, for businesses in Chitral and clients around the world.
What I build
End-to-end systems, one mind across the stack
Most projects I take on need every layer built and owned by one engineer — so there are no handoffs and nothing falls between the cracks:
- Web applications — dashboards, booking systems, admin panels, client portals and marketing sites built with React and Next.js.
- APIs & back ends — REST APIs, authentication, payments, file handling and scheduled jobs on Node.js and Express, with Prisma over PostgreSQL or MySQL, or MongoDB.
- Mobile apps — cross-platform apps with React Native and Capacitor, and native Android in Kotlin / Java.
- Deployment & handover — CI/CD, hosting on Vercel / Railway / AWS, and training your team to run the admin side without a developer.
Stack
Tools I reach for
Performance on low-bandwidth connections is a first-class concern — several of my clients' customers are in mountain regions of Chitral where every kilobyte counts.
How it works
From first message to launch
- Scope call — we talk through the problem, users and constraints, and agree on what “done” means.
- Proposal — a fixed scope, timeline and price, or a weekly rate for open-ended work.
- Build in the open — a staging URL from day one, short updates, and a demo at the end of each milestone.
- Launch & handover — deployment, documentation and a walkthrough so your team can run it.
- Support — a maintenance retainer if you want ongoing changes and monitoring.

Questions
Common questions
Do you work with clients outside Chitral?
Yes. About half my work is international, delivered fully remotely. Being in Chitral keeps rates reasonable without changing the quality of the work.
Can you take over an existing codebase?
Yes — I regularly pick up half-finished React / Node projects, get them stable, and continue from there.
Do you build mobile apps too?
Yes, with React Native or Capacitor for cross-platform, and native Android in Kotlin when a project needs it.
Who owns the code?
You do, in full, on final payment — hosted in your own repository and accounts.
