I'm Md. Emamul Mursalin, a freelance Next.js developer in Bangladesh. I have been building on Next.js since the Pages Router and shipped production SaaS on the App Router, React Server Components and Next.js 16 — the site you are reading runs on it. If you want a full-stack TypeScript developer who can own the whole product — Next.js front end, NestJS or Supabase backend, PostgreSQL, Stripe and deployment — and you would rather hire directly than through a marketplace, this page explains how I work and what it costs.
Bangladesh has a deep pool of React developers. What is rarer is someone who understands the server side of Next.js well enough to make the architecture decisions: where rendering happens, what gets cached and for how long, how auth crosses the server-client boundary, and when a separate API is worth its cost. That is the layer I work at.

Most of my Next.js work is SaaS: multi-tenant products with team workspaces, role-based access, Stripe subscriptions and webhooks, admin dashboards and a marketing site that ranks. I also build content-heavy sites where SEO and Core Web Vitals matter, and AI products where streaming responses, server actions and background jobs have to work together.
Founders — a reputation platform for startup founders — runs on Next.js 16, React 19 and a NestJS API. MedScribe is a prescription platform for doctors on Next.js and PostgreSQL. HennaHub is a full-stack e-commerce and booking platform on Next.js 16 with Hono on Cloudflare Workers. Contently AI is a multi-model content SaaS on Next.js with OpenAI, Anthropic and Groq behind it.
Rendering: server components by default, client components only where there is interaction, and static or incrementally regenerated pages wherever the data allows. This keeps the JavaScript bundle small and the pages fast on the phones most users actually have.
Backend: for a small product I keep the API inside Next.js route handlers and use Supabase for Postgres, auth and storage. When the product needs webhooks, queues, a mobile client or business logic that several clients share, I add a NestJS service with Prisma, BullMQ and Redis. Both are TypeScript end to end, so the types stay shared.
Data and deployment: PostgreSQL always, on Neon or Supabase for early products and on a managed instance later. Vercel for the Next.js app; Render, Fly or a container platform for NestJS; Docker for anything that must run in a client's own cloud. Every project ships with CI, automated tests and monitoring.
A fast, SEO-ready marketing site or landing page is $299 and takes one to two weeks. A production web application on Next.js and NestJS with auth, roles, PostgreSQL, Stripe billing, an admin dashboard and CI/CD is $1,299 over four to six weeks. A scalable platform with multi-tenancy, realtime features, Redis, queues, monitoring and load testing is $2,999 over eight to fourteen weeks.
Hourly work — joining an existing Next.js codebase, performance or SEO fixes, an upgrade to a new Next.js version — is $20-30 an hour, tracked weekly. A monthly retainer with reserved hours starts at $500. For reference, typical Bangladesh outsourcing rates are $15-35 an hour for mid-level work and US Next.js contractors bill $120-200.
Hiring directly instead of through Upwork or Toptal means no platform fees, a contract in your name, and a developer who is not optimising for a rating. My standard agreement covers scope, milestones, confidentiality and full IP assignment on payment. Invoices are in USD and payable by Wise, Payoneer or bank transfer. Code goes into your GitHub organisation from the first commit and deployments run in your accounts.
I work in UTC+6 with a fixed call window that overlaps the UK and EU afternoon and US mornings and evenings. Between calls the project runs asynchronously on a shared board with written weekly updates. If you want to test the fit first, a paid one-week engagement — a code audit, a performance sprint, a small feature — is the usual way to start.

Questions & answers
Typical Bangladesh rates run $15-35 an hour for mid-level React work. As a senior freelance Next.js developer I bill $20-30 an hour or fixed prices: $299 for a marketing site, $1,299 for a production SaaS application, $2,999 for a scalable multi-tenant platform. US contractors for the same work bill $120-200 an hour.
Usually both. Next.js handles the product UI, marketing pages and SEO. NestJS runs the API when you need webhooks, background jobs, a mobile client or shared business logic. For a very small product I keep everything inside Next.js route handlers and add NestJS only when it earns its place.
Supabase is excellent for early products: managed Postgres, auth, storage and row-level security with no server to run. A custom NestJS backend wins once you have complex business logic, multi-tenant isolation, queues or Stripe flows. I recommend whichever keeps your first year simpler, and both can migrate later.
Book a call, agree a scope and price, sign a contract with IP assignment and an NDA if needed, and pay by milestone through Wise, Payoneer or bank transfer. No marketplace is involved, and the code lives in your own GitHub organisation from the first commit.
Yes. I start with a short audit — rendering strategy, caching, data fetching, auth boundaries, bundle size — write down what I found, and agree a plan before changing anything. Upgrades between Next.js major versions and Pages-to-App-Router migrations are common engagements.
Yes. Server components keep the app fast, route handlers and server actions cover most backend needs, and it deploys cheaply on Vercel. With PostgreSQL, Prisma and Stripe it is the stack I use for almost every SaaS I build, including the products in my portfolio.

A 30-minute call is enough to tell you which package fits, what I would cut, and what it will cost to run. No pitch, no obligation.
