About
Who is Dan Waqar?
Dan Waqar is an AI-first full-stack software engineer who helps founders ship a validated MVP fast.
I work with founders, co-founders, and CTOs. Most come to me with an idea and a deadline, and not much time to waste. My job is to turn that idea into something real that users can try, as fast as honestly possible.
How I work
I keep it simple. Small scope, weekly demos, and honest timelines. You always know what I am building and why.
AI-first is not a buzzword here. It means I use modern AI tooling across the workflow to remove the slow, repetitive parts of building software. That saved time goes straight back into your product and your timeline. The code is still clean, still tested, and still yours.
What I believe
- Ship to learn. A small thing in front of real users beats a big thing behind a login nobody has seen.
- No lock-in. You own the code from day one. If we stop working together, you lose nothing.
- Straight talk. If an idea is too big for an MVP, I will say so and help you cut it down.
