Next.js Development Service
I'm Muhammed Waqar Ahmed — a full-stack developer who ships production Next.js applications end-to-end. Not tutorials. Not prototypes. Real multi-tenant SaaS with auth, payments, and paying users. If you're a US startup or founder who needs a Next.js developer who can deliver a live product instead of a Figma-perfect landing page, this is what I do.
Every project on my portfolio is a live, deployed Next.js app — not a case study I wrote after the fact. Concrete recent work:
Conslinq — an immigration case management platform with 5 distinct user roles, tenant-scoped data isolation via row-level security, and Next.js frontend deployed to Vercel talking to a FastAPI backend on Railway. Auth, tenancy, and access control done right at the database layer.
Read the Conslinq case study →QPDF — a document Q&A product using Next.js for the streaming chat UI and FastAPI + PostgreSQL vector search for retrieval. AI Kit Tools — 10+ browser-based OpenAI utilities shipped as a free SaaS. If you have an AI feature you want in production, I've built it.
Read the QPDF case study →Next.js 15 App Router, TypeScript, Tailwind, Supabase or PostgreSQL, deployed to Vercel. Fixed scope, weekly demos, a live URL in 2–6 weeks. Perfect if you need to validate a product with real users before committing to a full engineering team.
This site is one of them. Next.js 15 with proper metadata, dynamic OG images, JSON-LD schema (Service, FAQPage, BreadcrumbList), sitemap generation, and RSS. Not a template. If you want Core Web Vitals in the green and a page Google can actually index, this is the stack.
I use a deliberately small, boring stack because it ships faster and hands off cleaner. Every choice below is one I've run in production:
From $2,500 · 2–4 weeks
From $5,000 · 4–8 weeks
$120/hr or weekly retainer
Next.js 15 with the App Router for every new project. It gives us React Server Components, streaming, and better data-fetching patterns out of the box. I still maintain Pages Router codebases when clients hire me for existing apps, but I recommend migrating incrementally when it makes sense.
Yes. Common migrations I handle: WordPress or Webflow marketing sites to Next.js for speed and SEO, Create React App SPAs to Next.js for better rendering and Core Web Vitals, and older Next.js Pages Router apps to the App Router. Migrations start at $2,500 depending on the source stack and content volume.
Every Next.js build I ship includes: proper metadata and OpenGraph tags, dynamic OG image generation, JSON-LD schema (Article, Service, FAQPage, BreadcrumbList as appropriate), a real sitemap.ts, RSS feed if it's a content site, and Core Web Vitals passing in green. This site is a working example — audit it yourself.
Full-stack. My typical stack is Next.js frontend + Supabase or PostgreSQL for data, with Next.js API routes for lightweight backends and FastAPI on Railway when the logic gets heavy (AI, data pipelines, complex business rules). I ship one accountable, deployed product — not a frontend that needs a separate backend hire.
Supabase Auth for most projects — it gives me JWT tokens I can wire directly into PostgreSQL row-level security policies, so multi-tenancy is enforced at the database layer, not just in application code. NextAuth for simpler identity needs. Both are production-grade patterns I've run in real client work like Conslinq.
Yes — US clients are my main focus. I work in flexible hours with strong overlap for the US business day (typically 10am–6pm ET is easy for me), all communication in English, and async-first over Slack and email. Most US clients say the collaboration feels no different than a local hire.
Perfect — that speeds things up. I convert Figma designs to Next.js + Tailwind implementations, matching your design tokens (colors, spacing, typography) and adding the interaction states, responsiveness, and accessibility your designer probably didn't spec.
Fixed-scope pricing for well-defined builds: MVPs and landing pages from $2,500 (2–4 weeks), full-stack SaaS from $5,000 (4–8 weeks). Hourly at $120/hr for ongoing work or unclear scope. After a free 30-minute scoping call I send a written estimate within 24 hours — no surprises later.
Two options. Either full handoff — clear README, environment docs, and a walkthrough call so your team can take it from there — or an ongoing retainer for maintenance, feature work, and on-call support. Retainers start at $500/month for light maintenance and scale up to fractional-CTO engagements.
