I'm Jamil Ahmed - a developer from Karachi, Pakistan. I built SendFleet, a transactional email API, from scratch. Now I'm bringing that same drive and ownership to client work.
From learning HTML in 2023 to shipping a production API in 2026 - here's how I got here.
Decided to teach myself programming. Started with the basics - HTML, CSS, JavaScript - and pushed through tutorials and small projects every day. This is where I developed the habit of building things instead of just reading about them.
Moved into backend development with Python and Django, then picked up React and Next.js on the frontend. I didn't stop at tutorials - I built production-style applications end-to-end: authentication systems, REST APIs, and deployed frontends. This is where I became a full-stack developer.
Built SendFleet - a transactional email API - entirely on my own. Developers can integrate it into any app to send welcome emails, password resets, receipts, and notifications via a clean REST API. I handled everything: backend infrastructure, deliverability, API key authentication, rate limiting, and the dashboard frontend. Think Mailgun or Postmark, built from scratch.
I'm actively taking on freelance projects. Whether you need a custom web application, a REST API backend, or a polished frontend - I'm available and ready to deliver. I work fast, communicate clearly, and don't disappear after shipping.
What I actually know - built through shipping real projects, not just completing courses.
Focus: Clean, well-documented APIs that are secure, fast, and easy to integrate
Focus: Fast, accessible interfaces that look great and perform well
Focus: End-to-end product ownership - from database schema to deployment
Focus: Production-ready deployments secured properly from day one
A curated selection of tools and frameworks I use to build modern, scalable applications
The principles I actually follow - not the ones that just sound good on a portfolio.
Every application I build starts with proper auth, input validation, and safe API design. Security isn't an afterthought - it's baked in from the first line.
Slow apps lose users. I optimize at every layer - queries, caching, asset loading - so what I ship actually feels fast.
I built SendFleet alone - backend, frontend, infrastructure, everything. I take responsibility for the whole product, not just my slice. Your project gets that same level of care.
Because every line of code I wrote, I had to figure out myself. No classroom, no team to lean on - just problems and persistence. That builds a different kind of problem-solving instinct. I built SendFleet anyway, through every blocker. That's the person you'd be working with.
