Hi, I'm Farhan Shafi.
Full-Stack Product Developer · Karachi, Pakistan
Five years shipping production code across plugins, platforms, and client products. I help founders and agencies move from rough brief to launch-ready software.
Shipping production code across products, plugins, and client platforms.
Frontend, backend, performance, and the messy integration work in between.
Freelance partnerships, agency support, and product delivery from Karachi.
Services
I work best in focused scopes: new builds, product upgrades, technical audits, and the kind of delivery work that actually moves a roadmap forward.
Engagement style
I usually plug in where a team needs reliable execution: from design handoff to production launch, or to audit what is already built and reduce risk before the next phase.
Pixel-accurate, performant UIs in React and Next.js. I turn Figma into production code — responsive, accessible, and measurably fast.
From idea to launch. Next.js on the front, Node on the back, Postgres or MySQL in the middle. Auth, payments, admin tooling — all of it.
I build production Gutenberg blocks and custom WordPress plugins — the same kind of work behind Ultimate Blocks, GalleryBerg, and TableBerg.
Architecture reviews, code audits, and consulting hours. Useful when a team is growing, inheriting a codebase, or deciding on stack direction.
Selected work
Recent shipped work — two public WordPress.org plugins, reliability contributions on a plugin with 50,000+ installs, and a client site delivered in 2025.
Slide anything — not just images — inside the native block editor.
A gallery block that actually holds up in real editorial workflows.
Reliability work on a plugin running on tens of thousands of production sites.
A design-to-block conversion for an agency that needed their own site to hit their own standards.
Experience
Across full-time roles and freelance work, the constant has been shipping useful software without making the codebase harder for the next person.

About
I care about the details that make software feel finished: performance, accessible interaction, maintainable structure, and a UI that does not fight the product behind it.
I'm a full-stack web developer based in Karachi, working with clients worldwide.
Five years of production experience across the stack — Next.js, React, Node.js, PHP, and WordPress Gutenberg block development. I've shipped plugins with production reach similar to Ultimate Blocks, GalleryBerg, and TableBerg, built custom WooCommerce integrations, and delivered end-to-end apps for agencies and independent teams.
I like problems where the solution has to be fast, accessible, and simple enough that the next person can work on it too.
