Hire a full-stack developer in Pakistan — Lahore, remote-ready
Looking for a senior full-stack hire in Pakistan? I'm Sovaid Shah, a Software Architect in Lahore with 7+ years in Next.js, Rails, and .NET — open to full-time remote or hybrid Lead Full-Stack and Architect roles.
What you get when you hire a full-stack developer in Pakistan
You get architecture plus implementation — not handoffs that die in Jira. From Lahore I cover Next.js SSR, Rails or ASP.NET backends, and job systems (Hangfire / Sidekiq) that stay off the request path.
- SSR and SEO experience from marketplace work that grew organic traffic 45% (Yatty)
- Checkout work that cut cart abandonment 30% on Cercle
- Team leadership including a four-person energy platform delivery (+40% efficiency)
- Timezone: Pakistan Standard Time (UTC+5), fluent English, async-friendly updates
How hiring starts
1. Send the role
Email the seat, stack, timeline, and whether architecture ownership is part of the brief. No pitch deck — I reply with fit or an honest no.
2. Closest systems I have shipped
You get a short note on the nearest case studies and whether a full-time Lead Full-Stack or Software Architect seat is the right shape — then a short scope call if it fits.
3. Ship in the open
Weekly demos or PRs you can review. Architecture decisions stay written down so the team can operate without me in every meeting. Prefer pure architecture ownership? See hire a Software Architect in Pakistan.
Who this hire is for
Remote or hybrid teams that need a Lead Full-Stack or Software Architect seat filled by someone who still opens the scary PR. If you only need a mid-level ticket queue or a visual redesign with no performance budget, pick someone else.
Stacks ready on day one
ASP.NET Core, Vue.js, Ruby on Rails, Next.js, React, GraphQL, PostgreSQL, Redis, Azure, Docker/CI. Browse selected work or deep-dive hire a Next.js developer and software architecture.

FAQ — hiring a full-stack developer in Pakistan
Why hire a full-stack developer in Pakistan?
Pakistan (UTC+5) overlaps EU mornings and early US East hours, with strong Rails, .NET, and React talent density in cities like Lahore. You get senior delivery without US onshore rates when you hire directly.
Who is a strong full-stack hire in Lahore for remote teams?
Sovaid Shah is a Software Architect in Lahore with 7+ years across Next.js, React, Ruby on Rails, and ASP.NET Core. He has led teams, shipped marketplaces and enterprise hubs, and is open to remote or hybrid roles.
Do you work with US, UK, and European teams?
Yes. From Lahore (PKT, UTC+5) I keep live overlap for EU mornings and early US East hours, with async updates the rest of the day so progress never depends on catching me online.
Are you available full-time, contract, or architecture retainers?
All three. Lead Full-Stack and Software Architect seats (remote or hybrid), fixed-scope delivery, and fractional architecture retainers. I quote after a short scope call so the engagement shape matches the problem.
Can I hire you specifically for Next.js work?
Yes. SSR marketplace routes, Stripe checkout, and Core Web Vitals work are in scope — see the Cercle case study (−30% cart abandonment, +20% TTI) and the Next.js services page on this site.
What results can you expect from this engagement?
Past delivery includes 30% less cart abandonment, 40% better operational efficiency, 60% less manual case input, and 45% more organic traffic on SSR marketplace galleries — details on each project page.
