Available for founder & team engagements

I help founders turn ideas into production-ready software.

Meher Ullah Khan Raj — 8+ years building full-stack web systems. From rough idea to architecture, implementation, and launch — with AI-assisted workflows that actually ship.

01where I help most

Problems founders bring me — and how I solve them.

You don't need another contractor who only writes code. You need a technical partner who can think with you about product, architecture, and delivery.

ISSUE #01no technical roadmap

You have a clear idea, but no path to a working product.

I translate fuzzy product ideas into developer-ready requirements, an architecture sketch, and an honest delivery plan you can ship from.

ISSUE #02messy MVP

Your MVP works, but it's slow, fragile, or hard to extend.

I stabilize and refactor full-stack apps — database, APIs, frontend — so you can grow on top of them instead of around them.

ISSUE #03fractured ownership

You need one person who can own the whole build.

Frontend, backend, cloud, CI/CD, product decisions — I run the whole stack so you don't have to coordinate five vendors to ship one feature.

ISSUE #04AI without chaos

You want to use AI without shipping broken code.

I use agents and CLI workflows for speed, but with review, testing, and engineering judgment in the loop. AI is leverage — not a substitute for ownership.

02build pipeline

From idea to shipped product, step by step.

A repeatable pipeline for founders who want clarity at every stage — not just a black-box “we’ll get it done”.

03agentic engineering

AI-assisted, human-owned engineering.

Agents move drafts. Humans own decisions. The handoff between them is where most teams get burned — that's the part I take care of.

I use AI as leverage. I don't outsource judgment to it.

Agents draft code fast. They also confidently produce subtle bugs, security holes, and architectures that don't survive contact with real users. I keep humans in the loop where it counts.

01Architecture is owned. Data models, service boundaries, and trade-offs are decided deliberately — not whatever the model felt like emitting.
02Every diff is read. AI-generated code goes through the same review bar as anything I'd write by hand.
03Tests on real infrastructure. Mocked tests aren't proof — integration tests against real databases are.
04Maintainability over cleverness. If the next engineer can't read it in a week, it doesn't ship.
04how I can help

Engagements I'm built for.

Fractional engineering for founders & teams who need a senior pair of hands across the whole stack.

MVP development

From rough idea to a usable v1 — built so it can grow, not just shipped to a demo.

SaaS product build

Auth, billing, dashboards, multi-tenancy — the boring pieces every SaaS actually needs.

Full-stack delivery

Frontend, backend, infra — one accountable owner instead of five vendors.

Backend & API architecture

NestJS, Node, Postgres — services that hold up as the product gets real.

AI workflow integration

Drop agents into real workflows — with review, tests, and guardrails.

Developer tooling / CLIs

Local-first tools that make your team faster every single day.

Technical planning

Turn rough ideas into specs, estimates, and a path your team can actually run.

Production debugging

Performance regressions, outages, mystery bugs — diagnosed and put to bed.

05build artifacts

Selected work & open-source builds.

A mix of public projects and production systems I've owned — each one is proof, not portfolio filler.

Local-first CLI workflow for agentic software engineering.
ProblemMost agentic tooling is cloud-locked, opaque, and hard to wire into a real engineering workflow.
