Muhammad Usman Naeem
Full Stack Developer • Data Engineer • Web Scraping Expert
I build platforms that keep running for years, AI products grounded in real data rather than general model knowledge, and automation that nobody has to watch. Six years writing software, five of them freelancing full time.
Most of my work is long engagements with a small number of clients: 23 of 39 Upwork contracts came from people who had already hired me once, and every client relationship has passed 90 days. I take projects end to end, from the architecture through to being the person who gets called when production misbehaves.

Skills
As a professional constantly expanding my knowledge, here are some key skills I've developed:
Languages
My proficiency spans across JavaScript, Python, PHP, and Dart, alongside a solid foundation in web development with HTML and CSS. I'm experienced in managing various databases, including MySql and Firebase, and have a working knowledge of C, C++.
Frameworks
My development process is enhanced by a strategic selection of frameworks, including Laravel, Vue, jQuery, TailwindCSS, AntDesign, Bootstrap, FastAPI, Flutter, and Selenium/Playwright for automation. This toolkit underscores my adaptability and commitment to delivering high-quality, efficient solutions fast.
Tools/Platform
I utilize VS-Code, Jupyter Notebook, Git, and Docker daily, ensuring a robust development environment. My proficiency spans Windows and Ubuntu (through WSL/WSLG), enabling versatile project support across operating systems.
Specialties
Specializing in full-stack development, data analysis, web scraping, and custom script creation, I excel in delivering tailored solutions. My approach marries technical expertise with innovative problem-solving to develop optimized, user-centric applications.
Experience
I enjoy taking on new projects and have worked with:
As a Top Rated Plus freelancer on Upwork, I have successfully completed over 40 projects and have received a 5-star rating on most of them with my current JSS standing at 100%. While I am unable to list all of my projects, I am proud to highlight a few of my most notable or open achievements.
Tech Lead and Senior Full Stack Developer since July 2024, part time. My full time work is freelancing.
I lead technical delivery on client platforms, set the architecture, and review the work that ships.
I joined alphasofthub as a full-stack developer. After working on both frontend and backend of the core project, I was promoted to the role of Director of the company.
Riphah International University offered me the opportunity to work on building an alumni management system for them. The university will use this system to manage its alumni where they can connect with them, volunteer on events, post updates, and communicate with each other. I was excited to take on the project and help the university strengthen its relationship with its graduates.
Earlier freelance work also ran through Fiverr.
What clients say
Verbatim from public reviews on completed contracts. Upwork does not record client names, so the engagement is described instead.
Great work, once again. Program turned out better than expected. Great visualization tools in python with custom styling. Can’t wait for the next project (actually ongoing!) have used him several times and plan to hire again!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND !!
Muhammad is extremely knowledgeable. I contacted him to debug my python script. He optimized it in fewer lines of code and all unit test cases worked. He quickly came up with a solution. Excellent communication. Great quality of work.
Very talented developer that I would surely hire again - as a matter of fact, this was my second time working with him. Very fast, great communication skills. Helped me resolve some challenging technical issues.
Good listener and high skill worker, has a lot of experience and does not require a lot of input from the Client. Looking forward on working with him.

Certificates
In addition to my formal education, I have completed a few courses to deepen my knowledge:
Python for Everybody Specialization
University of Michigan · Aug 2022
A five course specialisation covering Python fundamentals, data structures, consuming web services and REST APIs, relational databases with SQL, and a capstone on retrieving, processing and visualising data. This is the base the rest of my Python work is built on.
No public verification page exists for this one: it was issued to a university account that did not transfer to my personal account. The credential ID above is from the official source.
The Bits and Bytes of Computer Networking
Google · Jan 2023 · Grade 90.50%
The layers underneath the applications I deploy: TCP/IP, routing, DNS, and troubleshooting. Directly useful when a production problem turns out to be network behaviour rather than application logic.
Hands-on Introduction to Linux Commands and Shell Scripting
IBM · Jan 2022 · Grade 100%
Shell fundamentals, filters and pipelines, and scheduling with cron. Everything I run in production runs on Linux, so this is daily working knowledge rather than background.
Fundamentals of Kubernetes Deployment
LearnQuest · May 2023 · Grade 97.40%
Container orchestration concepts: pods, deployments, services and scaling. Foundational knowledge. I have not run Kubernetes in production, where I deploy with systemd instead.
Build Your Portfolio Website with HTML and CSS
Coursera · May 2022 · Grade 100%
Semantic markup and responsive layout from first principles, which is what makes an accessible page rather than one that merely looks right.
Docker for absolute beginners
Coursera · Mar 2023 · Grade 88.88%
Images, containers, volumes and networking. I use Docker for development and build tooling; production services run under systemd.
Building Scalable Java Microservices with Spring Boot and Spring Cloud
Google Cloud · Jul 2022 · Grade 100%
Service decomposition, configuration and service discovery. Taken to see how another ecosystem solves the problems I solve in Python, which is usually the fastest way to understand a pattern properly.
Terraform for absolute beginners
Coursera · May 2023 · Grade 100%
Declarative infrastructure, state and providers. Foundational knowledge rather than production experience.
Jenkins : Automating your delivery pipeline
Coursera · May 2023 · Grade 100%
Build and deployment pipelines, stages and triggers. Foundational knowledge; the automation I ship in production is scheduled and service based.
Scheduling Selenium TestNG tests via Jenkins CI/CD tool
Coursera · May 2023 · Grade 100%
Running browser test suites on a schedule and reporting results, which is the same problem I solved for a client by rebuilding their Selenium framework as a standalone tool.
