Web apps and SaaS
Products people log into every day: dashboards, booking and billing, real-time features, admin tools. React and TypeScript up front, Node.js or Django behind, Postgres underneath.

Software engineer & product engineer in Islamabad
I'm Danish Siddique, a senior full-stack software engineer based in Islamabad. For five years I've built products end to end, from the database to the AI features on top, used by thousands of people. At Kindred I build Kindred Workplace and Kindred Practice; on my own I've launched TallyReel and Round Zero.
What I build
AI features that hold up
Assistants that take real actions, AI that remembers users, voice agents, document search and automated notes, with the testing and monitoring that keep them honest in production.
Product engineering, idea to launch
Scoping what to build first, designing it, shipping it, and getting it in front of the first customers. I've done it for my own products and for teams.
Mobile and desktop
Phone apps with Expo, and desktop apps for Mac and Windows, including AI that runs entirely on the user's own machine.
Proof, not promises
Products I've built that are live today.

How I work
plainly, and every week
- Remote first. Based in Islamabad, working with teams across North America, Europe and the Middle East. In person in Islamabad and Rawalpindi when it helps.
- Something you can click, every week. Progress you can see, not a big reveal at the end.
- I read every line. I use AI tools to move faster, never to skip the thinking.
- Built to last. Tests, monitoring and clear handover, so the product keeps working after launch.
