If your last development project ran late, went over budget, or left you managing the developer instead of building your business, that's exactly the problem we fix.
I'm Owais Iqbal, CEO of Hysetech Private Limited and a Top Rated freelancer on Upwork with over a decade of experience delivering software products for clients globally. I built this agency because I kept seeing the same problem: talented developers who couldn't communicate, and communicative freelancers who couldn't deliver. We do both.
I'm your direct point of contact on every project. My team handles execution, and you work with me on requirements, timelines, and decisions. We're reliable, responsive, and we treat your deadline like it's ours. Because it is.
What we build:
── Custom Web and Mobile Applications
Full stack web apps, iOS and Android, cross-platform development, SaaS products, REST APIs
── Microsoft SharePoint and PowerApps
Intranet portals, workflow automation, PowerApps custom solutions, SharePoint migrations
── AI and Automation
GPT integrations, AI Agents, workflow automation, LangChain, OpenAI API, custom AI tools
── UI/UX and Design
Product design, wireframes, prototypes, design systems, Figma, user research
Why clients come back:
✔ Top Rated on Upwork — a decade of global client delivery
✔ CEO-level accountability on every project — not handed off to juniors
✔ Reliable, responsive team — deadlines don't slip because one person is unavailable
✔ Full service — from concept and design through to deployment and support
My best clients are business owners and product teams who know what outcome they want but need a technical partner to get them there. If you want someone who asks the right questions before writing a single line of code, flags problems before they get expensive, and communicates like a professional, send me a message.
Tell me what you're building; a paragraph is enough. I'll respond within a few hours with exactly how we'd approach it.

I build and repair TradingView Pine Script indicators, strategies, and alerts.
Recent Upwork work includes multi-timeframe engulf detection, turning existing scripts into signal visualizers, and custom strategy logic — with 5-star client feedback.
If your script repaints, sends duplicate alerts, or needs reliable multi-timeframe logic, send the current code and a chart example. I will identify what is wrong first, then give you a clear scope and timeline.
What I handle:
• Pine Script v5/v6
• Non-repainting multi-timeframe logic
• Alerts, entries/exits, and backtesting
• Existing-script repair and refactoring
• Clear handoff with brief documentation
I work from the actual script and expected behavior, not assumptions.

Got an idea you want to turn into a real product? Let's talk.
I help non-technical founders and business owners build AI-powered MVPs, SaaS platforms and Mobile Apps (iOS & Android) from first concept to a live, working product. Based in Dubai, UAE, I work with clients across the US, UK and the Middle East who need someone they can trust to own the technical side of their project, so they can focus on their business.
What makes me different:
I'm not just a developer who writes code and disappears. I ask the right questions, give honest feedback on your idea and stay with you through the full journey from scoping to launch.
✅ WHAT I DELIVER
✔️ AI-Powered Web Apps & SaaS Platforms:
Multi-tenant SaaS products with AI automation, smart dashboards, role-based access, subscription billing and third-party integrations. I integrate OpenAI and LLM APIs to give your product intelligent features, automated data extraction, AI-driven notifications, smart document processing and decision-support tools.
✔️ MVP Development:
Got an idea? I help you scope it down to the essentials, build the first working version fast, and get it in front of real users. No bloated features. No wasted budget. Just a lean product that validates your idea.
✔️ Mobile Apps (iOS & Android):
Cross-platform mobile apps built with Flutter and React Native from ride-hailing platforms to B2B tools and on-demand services. Clean UI, real-time features, and full App Store / Play Store deployment included.
✔️ Web Application Development:
Full-stack web apps built on React, Node.js, Laravel, and Python/Django. Scalable from day one so you don't need a costly rewrite six months after launch.
✔️ AI Feature Integration:
Already have a product and want to make it smarter? I add AI capabilities to existing platforms, document automation, intelligent alerts, chatbots, workflow automation and LLM-powered features using OpenAI API.
✔️ Dashboards & Admin Panels:
Real-time analytics dashboards, role-based admin tools and reporting panels that turn raw data into decisions your team can act on.
🛠️ TECH STACK
Mobile:
Flutter, React Native, iOS, Android
Frontend:
React.js, Next.js, Tailwind CSS
Backend:
Node.js, Laravel, Python, Django, REST APIs
AI:
OpenAI API, LLM Integration, AI Document Processing
Database & Cloud:
PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Firebase, AWS
Payments:
Stripe, PayPal, In-App Subscriptions
HOW I WORK:
I respond fast, communicate in plain English and I'll always tell you the truth about scope, timeline, and budget before it becomes a problem, not after. I take on a limited number of projects at a time so every client gets proper attention, not just a ticket in a queue.
If something changes during the build, you'll know immediately. No surprises at the finish line.
I WORK BEST WITH:
- Non-technical founders building their first SaaS or mobile product.
- Businesses that need an AI layer added to an existing platform.
- Startups that want one reliable person to own the full technical delivery.
- Companies with a legacy or broken app that needs a proper rebuild.
- Entrepreneurs in the UAE, US or UK who want a partner not just a contractor.
LET'S START WITH A CONVERSATION:
Message me with a short description of what you're building. I'll get back to you within a few hours with honest thoughts on your idea, a rough scope and whether I'm the right fit for it.
No pressure. No pitch. Just a real conversation.
