About Saqlain
7+ years of shipping real software that businesses rely on.
I'm a full stack developer based in Pakistan, specialising in Laravel and the PHP ecosystem. My background spans the full delivery cycle — database schema design, backend architecture, API development, frontend interfaces, and production deployment.
I founded and shipped QistPay, an installment management SaaS platform in active daily use by real businesses, and TradeSimple, a gold trading signals platform built for active forex traders. These products reflect how I work: purposeful engineering, clean execution, and a focus on measurable business outcomes.
I collaborate with founders, agencies, and product teams who need a reliable technical partner — someone who understands both the engineering and the product well enough to make decisions that move things forward.
Founder perspective
I've built and shipped my own products. I understand what it takes to move from idea to live system.
Production-grade delivery
Real users depend on QistPay and TradeSimple daily. I build with that responsibility in mind.
Across the full stack
Backend systems, frontend interfaces, infrastructure, and integrations — I handle the complete picture.
Client Feedback
What clients say about working with me
"Saqlain brought structure to a messy product phase. Communication was clear, delivery was reliable, and the final result felt much more mature than where we started."
Daniel Carter Product Manager, SaaS Startup"We needed someone who could handle backend complexity without losing sight of the user experience. Saqlain was strong on both."
Olivia Bennett Founder, B2B Platform"What stood out most was the speed of understanding. He quickly saw the product logic, improved weak areas, and shipped changes with confidence."
Alexei Morozov Director, Digital Agency"Thoughtful, dependable, and easy to work with. The project moved faster once Saqlain got involved, and the technical decisions were much stronger."
