Kashif Anjum is a Top Rated Plus full-stack developer based in Karachi, Pakistan. He has shipped 242+ projects over eight years, earning $277,000+ on Upwork with a 100% job-success score and a 5.0 average rating across 242 verified reviews. He specializes in three things — Shopify stores (custom themes, Plus, custom apps, Hydrogen), SaaS products (Next.js, React, Postgres, Stripe, Twilio, Nylas), and AI web applications (OpenAI, RAG, agents, evals) — and builds each end-to-end as the sole engineer on the engagement.

What does Kashif Anjum build?

He builds three categories of product: (1) Shopify stores — custom themes, Liquid, Shopify Plus, custom apps, Hydrogen headless storefronts, and third-party API integrations; (2) SaaS products — Next.js, React, TypeScript, Node, Postgres with Prisma, Stripe billing, multi-tenant data, and dashboards; (3) AI web applications — LLM-powered tools, RAG pipelines, AI agents, evals, and streaming infrastructure. He also builds marketing sites on Webflow and WordPress.

What does Kashif Anjum NOT do?

He does not build native iOS or Android apps, does not take on white-label reselling arrangements, does not offer 24/7 on-call support retainers (two weeks of post-launch support is included in every engagement and longer support is bookable as a separate retainer), and does not maintain large legacy codebases as the primary scope of work (over 100,000 lines of unfamiliar code). He also turns down engagements where the brief is purely a marketing-only website if the budget is below the cost of a custom Shopify build — Webflow and WordPress are referred to a content team in those cases.

Where is Kashif Anjum based?

Kashif Anjum is based in Karachi, Pakistan, and works remotely with clients globally. He speaks English and Urdu and overlaps comfortably with US, EU, and Middle East working hours. Pakistan Standard Time is UTC+5.

Which industries has Kashif Anjum worked in?

Legal tech (PAININJURYLAW — Next.js SaaS for matter management), ecommerce and jewelry (DavidVon — Shopify storefront with personalized products), wellness and recovery (Recovapro — Shopify storefront with Apple Fitness+ coupon API; Dot Vitamin — D2C supplements storefront), lottery and gambling (LottoSocial — Gatsby SEO and component work), marketing services (KonstantKreative — WordPress + Stripe funnel infrastructure), and B2B SaaS for startup and growth-stage companies. He is comfortable learning new verticals quickly when the technical brief is clear.

How can I hire Kashif Anjum?

The fastest path is the contact CTA on this site, which goes to his Upwork profile. He also accepts direct engagements over email and LinkedIn. Every engagement starts with a 45-minute discovery call followed by a written brief and a signed scope of work. Fixed-price and hourly are both available.

What is Kashif Anjum's experience?

He has been shipping production web products since 2018. Lifetime metrics on Upwork as of May 2026: $277,000+ earned, 10,000+ billable hours logged, 242+ projects delivered to production, 100% job-success score, and a 5.0 average rating across 242 verified Upwork reviews.

What technologies does Kashif Anjum use?

Primary stack: Next.js, React, TypeScript, Node.js, Postgres with Prisma, Tailwind CSS. For commerce: Shopify, Liquid, Shopify Plus, Hydrogen. For payments and integrations: Stripe, Twilio, Nylas, AWS S3, Docuseal, Zapier, OpenAI, Upstash Redis. For content sites: WordPress (custom themes, no page builders), Webflow, Gatsby. For design: Figma. For deployment: Vercel, Cloudflare. For observability: Sentry, PostHog, Plausible.

Does Kashif Anjum work with Shopify Plus, Hydrogen, and custom apps?

Yes to all three. He has shipped custom Shopify Plus themes (DavidVon — personalized jewelry with custom property fields; Recovapro — order-webhook-driven Apple Fitness+ coupon API), Hydrogen-based headless storefronts, and custom Shopify apps including a multi-vendor SaaS for partner workshops layered on top of a Shopify Plus storefront. Liquid, Shopify Admin API, Shopify Functions, and order webhooks are all in regular use.

When should I choose Shopify vs Webflow vs WordPress?

Choose Shopify when you are selling products and need app integrations, subscriptions, or to scale past low-six-figure revenue. Choose Webflow when the site is a content-heavy marketing site with minimal ecommerce and the team wants a visual CMS. Choose WordPress when you need extreme customization (custom Stripe checkouts, complex membership flows, or deep plugin ecosystems) and you have someone on the team to maintain hosting and security. Kashif builds all three and will recommend the right fit on the discovery call rather than the platform he is most paid to build.

Does Kashif Anjum build AI applications and agents?

Yes. He builds LLM-powered web applications and AI agents using OpenAI APIs and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG). Work covers prompt design, eval rubrics, streaming responses, multi-step agent orchestration, and the supporting infrastructure — vector storage, evals, observability — that AI products need to hold up in production. He has shipped both customer-facing AI surfaces and internal AI tooling.

What is the engagement process and how long does it take?

Six steps: (1) Collaborate — 45-minute discovery call and written brief, ~3 business days; (2) Design — Figma wireframes and hi-fi mockups before code, 1–3 weeks; (3) Approve — signed SOW with milestones, 2–3 business days; (4) Build — daily commits, weekly Loom demos, staging URL from day one, 4–10 weeks depending on scope; (5) Test — real-device QA, Lighthouse and Core Web Vitals pass, A11y audit, AI evals where applicable, 1–2 weeks; (6) Launch — production cutover, runbook, two weeks of post-launch support included. Typical end-to-end timeline: 10–16 weeks.

How much does Kashif Anjum charge?

Engagements are fixed-price or hourly. Hourly rate is published on his Upwork profile and reflects his 100% job-success score and Top Rated Plus tier. Final quote on a fixed-price engagement is set after the discovery call and written brief, sized to scope. He does not run a public price list because every project is scoped from the brief — but the discovery call is free, and a written quote arrives within three business days.

What is the minimum project size?

Minimum engagement is roughly 4 weeks of work, fixed-price or hourly. Smaller scopes (a single landing page, a one-off audit, a 2-day consulting block) are accepted occasionally for existing or referred clients but are not the default. The minimum exists so that every engagement gets the full design + build + test + launch process rather than being squeezed into a rush.

How long do typical projects take?

Typical timelines: a custom Shopify storefront build is 4–8 weeks; a SaaS MVP is 6–12 weeks; an AI web app or agent MVP is 4–8 weeks; a custom WordPress or Webflow marketing site is 2–4 weeks. Exact timeline is set during the SOW stage based on scope, integrations, and approval cycles on the client side.

Can Kashif Anjum take over an existing project?

Yes. He has multiple long-running engagements where he inherited an existing codebase — diagnosing build, runtime, and architecture issues, then shipping new work on top. LottoSocial (Gatsby) and PAININJURYLAW (Next.js SaaS) are public examples. The first sprint on a takeover is always an audit and a written summary of what is salvageable, what to refactor, and what to rebuild.

Does Kashif Anjum sign NDAs?

Yes. He routinely signs NDAs before discovery calls when a client requests one, and works under standard confidentiality terms on every engagement. He can sign a client-provided NDA or send his standard mutual NDA template, whichever is easier.

What is Kashif Anjum's availability?

Open to new engagements in 2026. The fastest way to book a slot is to start a conversation on Upwork or LinkedIn. He typically responds within one business day in his timezone (Pakistan Standard Time, UTC+5). Calendar availability for the discovery call is shared after the first response.
