Full Stack & AI Tech Lead | Healthtech, HIPAA | Next.js, React Native

Building a healthcare or AI product and need someone who has already done it at scale? I was Technology Head at Sehatkahani, Pakistan's largest telehealth platform, for 6+ years: 7.2 million users, 1,500+ doctors and 410 corporate clients. I still advise the company as its technology consultant. I own the whole picture: architecture, security and compliance, the team, and shipping on time. Compliance is where healthcare products stall, and I've taken one through it. I led Sehatkahani's ISO 27001 certification and VAPT security testing, and I'm now leading its year-two ISO audit and DHA (Dubai Health Authority) approval for its UAE expansion. HIPAA Certified | AWS Certified Developer | 14+ years | Top Rated Plus What I build - Healthcare platforms: telehealth, patient and doctor apps, EMR and clinic systems, appointments, pharmacy, HIPAA-ready architecture - AI inside real products: LLM features, AI patient screening, chatbots and assistants, workflow automation - Computer vision: face-scan vitals, facial-expression analysis, liveness detection, document auto-capture - Full stack web and mobile: Next.js, React, TypeScript, Node.js, Laravel; React Native, Flutter, Swift, Kotlin - Cloud and DevOps: AWS, Azure, GCP, Docker, CI/CD - Compliance readiness: ISO 27001, HIPAA, VAPT remediation, UAE health-authority (DHA) requirements Selected work - Sehatkahani: Technology Head for 6+ years, now technology consultant, for a 7.2M-user telehealth platform - AI patient screening platform (current): an AI avatar runs disease-screening protocols (diabetes, blood pressure and more) while facial analysis tracks focus and expressions; a quick face scan measures around 10 vitals such as blood pressure, heart rate and BMI; plus a prescription reader and AI doctor matching - Digital identity wallet (current): senior React Native developer on active and passive liveness detection, ID auto-capture SDK and crypto features - SyncViz: pharmacy management SaaS used by 500+ pharmacies in 35+ cities - Ekaze Digital Wallet: secure digital identity platform for Rwanda - Fintech embedded-finance platform serving thousands of businesses: managed the full tech team How I work - Clear scope and milestones before any code - Regular updates, no surprises - Honest advice, including when something isn't worth building Best fit: funded startups and healthcare companies building a new product or rescuing an existing one, teams preparing for ISO 27001, HIPAA or DHA compliance, and teams that need a technical lead or fractional CTO. Send me a message about what you're building. I'll reply within a few hours with how I'd approach it.
