ABOUT ME

HI, I'M
RIZWAN

I've been the go-to dev for agencies and founders for 13+ years.

Years

MY MISSION

I exist to make web development the part of your business you never have to worry about. Whether you're an agency racing deadlines or a founder pushing an MVP, my job is to turn vague ideas and messy codebases into fast, secure, and scalable products that simply work. By blending full-stack engineering with clear strategy and straight-talk communication, I give non-technical teams the confidence to ship, grow, and sleep at night while their tech quietly does its job.

2011 - 2025

From copy-pasting code to leading teams. The real journey.

2011-2012

THE STORY

How a debugging nightmare turned into a career of rescuing projects and leading teams.

It started with a 3AM debugging session. My first real job, and I was staring at a production system that had been down for 6 hours. The senior developers were stumped. The client was furious. And I was the junior who had to figure it out.

That night taught me something that would define my entire career: real development isn't about writing perfect code. It's about solving real problems under real pressure.

The Early Years: Debugging Hell

I spent my first 5 years in the trenches. Fixing legacy code that nobody understood. Debugging systems that were held together with duct tape and prayers. Learning that the best code is the code that actually works.

The best developers aren't the ones who write the prettiest code. They're the ones who ship working solutions when everything is on fire.

The Agency Years: Project Rescue Specialist

By year 6, I was the guy agencies called when projects were failing. The “fix-it" developer. The one who could walk into a disaster and walk out with a working solution.

I rescued projects from:

  • Developers who over-engineered everything
  • Teams that couldn't ship on time
  • Clients who were about to fire their agency
  • Systems that were crashing daily

The Leadership Years: Technical Strategy

Around year 8, I started getting calls from founders and CEOs. Not just to fix code, but to fix entire technical strategies. To build teams. To make technical decisions that would make or break companies.

That's when I realized my real value: I wasn't just a developer anymore. I was a technical leader who could bridge the gap between business needs and technical execution.

Today: The Brutal Honesty Approach

After 13+ years, I've seen every mistake in the book. I've fixed every type of technical disaster. And I've learned that most development problems aren't technical, they're communication problems.

That's why I built my business around brutal honesty. No sugar-coating. No technical jargon. Just straight talk about what's wrong and how to fix it.

I don't sell you what you want to hear. I tell you what you need to know.

WHAT I ACTUALLY DO

Not just coding. Strategic technical leadership that actually moves the needle.

PROBLEM SOLVER

When your project is stuck, your team is frustrated, and your deadline is looming: I'm the one you call. I don't just fix code. I fix entire situations.

  • • Debug complex system issues
  • • Rescue failing projects
  • • Optimize performance bottlenecks
  • • Fix security vulnerabilities

TECHNICAL LEADER

I help founders and CEOs make the right technical decisions. No BS. No over-engineering. Just clear strategy that aligns with business goals.

  • • Technical strategy & roadmap
  • • Team building & mentoring
  • • Architecture decisions
  • • Technology stack selection

HANDS-ON DEVELOPER

When you need someone who can actually build what they're talking about, I'm your guy. Full-stack development with modern, scalable technologies.

  • • Laravel/PHP development
  • • React/Vue.js frontends
  • • WordPress customization
  • • API integrations

WHY I'M DIFFERENT

Most developers talk about code. I talk about results.

WHAT OTHERS DO

  • Over-engineer simple solutions
  • Hide behind technical jargon
  • Miss deadlines with excuses
  • Build features nobody needs
  • Disappear when things go wrong

WHAT I DO

  • Ship working solutions fast
  • Speak in plain business terms
  • Meet deadlines or communicate early
  • Build what actually drives results
  • Stay until the problem is solved

“Muhammad Rizwan (or “Riz” as I've come to call him) is one of the most adept, and talented web developers I've had the pleasure of working with so far in my career. What stands out beyond his near meticulous detail for code cleanliness, is his constant desire to question the way things are designed or built. So many of our best code designs or overall stack solutions have come from his ability to ask questions and explore ideas. He is a true pleasure to work with and I'd recommend him any and every day."
