Waleed I.
Full-Stack SaaS Developer | Next.js, React, AWS, OpenAI & Claude
Clients usually come to me with one of these: ✅ An idea that needs a production-ready SaaS or MVP: auth, roles, Stripe billing, dashboards ✅ A mobile app (React Native) backed by a Node.js API ✅ A product that needs OpenAI or Claude features built in properly ✅ An existing codebase that needs an honest review before more money goes into it I build AI-powered SaaS MVPs from scratch using Next.js, React, Node.js, PostgreSQL and OpenAI or Claude. From product architecture to the first usable release, I build the application around the AI feature as well as the AI integration itself. With 10+ years of software development experience and a Top Rated Plus Upwork profile, I can help turn your product idea into a working MVP with a codebase you can continue building on after launch. I’m also a Co-Founder at Fivex Labs. I can work directly on your product and bring in additional developers from my team when the scope calls for it, while keeping technical ownership and communication clear. WHAT I CAN BUILD: 🤖 AI SaaS MVPs: Product architecture, user accounts, dashboards, database-backed workflows and subscription billing. 🧠 AI Features: OpenAI and Claude integrations, document processing, structured outputs and AI-powered workflows. ⚙️ SaaS Foundations: APIs, authentication, PostgreSQL, third-party integrations and Stripe billing where needed. 🚀 Product Delivery: From an initial idea and technical plan to a working first release, with practical decisions about what belongs in the MVP. TECH STACK: Next.js, React, TypeScript, Node.js, NestJS, PostgreSQL, Stripe, React Native, AWS, Azure Functions, OpenAI and Claude APIs. If you’re planning a new AI SaaS product, share the idea and the main problem it should solve. I’ll help map out a practical first version and the steps needed to build it.
