Next.js Developer | Headless CMS Websites, SaaS Products & Voice AI

I build two things on Next.js: products for founders (SaaS platforms, dashboards, AI features) and fast marketing websites your own team can run without a developer. You work directly with me, and clients tend to stay for years. For founders: one client came to us with a no-code MVP. Today it is a fully owned AI platform used by tourism, hospitality and car rental businesses across Iceland, answering 70%+ of their phone calls and 100% of website chat in a language no off-the-shelf model handled accurately. That traction helped secure their seed funding. Their SECOND review, two years after the first: "less like contractors and more like technical co-founders... the people we trust with our hardest engineering problems." For marketing sites, across very different businesses: a 5-location Texas healthcare group moved from hand-coded HTML to Next.js, load time from 2,520ms to under 1 second, every old URL redirected, no rankings lost. A Dutch HR consultancy whose marketing team assembles its own pages in two languages from a block library. A B Corp consultancy whose owner publishes her own podcasts, events and case studies. Then the part most developers skip. I built DevioPulse, our own search monitoring tool, and run it on client sites after launch. Each month you get a plain-English report: the searches where you sit one spot off page one, pages Google has stopped showing, a city search landing on the wrong location page. Written for owners, not for SEO people. ━━━ WHAT I BUILD ━━━ ⬢ WEBSITES THAT BRING ENQUIRIES Next.js with a headless CMS (Sanity, Prismic, Payload, Contentful) so your team adds pages, services, locations and tours without a developer. Migrations off WordPress, Wix or old HTML with every URL redirected, so rankings survive. Local SEO structure for multi-location businesses. ⬢ AI THAT ANSWERS YOUR CUSTOMERS Voice agents, chat and email AI connected to your real booking system or CRM. Not a wrapper: custom transcription, tool calling, your own knowledge base. Vapi, Vercel AI SDK, OpenAI, Anthropic, Qdrant. ⬢ FINISHING AND RESCUING AI-BUILT SITES Built it with Claude, Cursor or Lovable and stuck before launch? I review it, fix what is unsafe or slow, connect a CMS and ship it. ⬢ SAAS AND DASHBOARDS Multi-tenant platforms with role-based access, Stripe billing and real dashboards. Next.js, TypeScript, PostgreSQL (Supabase, Neon), Clerk, Better Auth. ━━━ HOW I WORK ━━━ The most expensive code is the code you have to throw away. So I stress-test what you are asking for before writing a line, and tell you plainly if something will not work or is not worth paying for. You own everything from day one: code, hosting, data. You can fire me in five minutes and keep 100% of the work. I publish Doctrine, a public set of production-honest comparisons across 50+ tools (CMSs, databases, booking engines, AI frameworks). It is the same framework I use before recommending a stack to a client. No vendor bias, no affiliate links. AI-accelerated with guardrails: Anthropic-certified in Claude Code, with enforced coding standards and hooks that keep AI away from secrets. Fast, not sloppy. ━━━ WHO YOU WORK WITH ━━━ You work directly with me. Behind me is a small senior team: Usman (completing his MS in Artificial Intelligence), Hassnain on UI/UX design, and Usama on engineering. No account managers. A client put it better than I can: "We could speak directly with the developers working on our product, which made everything smoother and faster." ━━━ LET'S TALK ━━━ Send me your site or your scope. You get a straight read within 24 hours: what is working, what is not, and what I would change.
