Summary
Daniyal Alam is the Founder & CEO of DanixSoft, a Lahore-based product-engineering studio.

Career path
A ₨25,000 first salary
Started as a junior developer on ₨25,000 a month — ticket-driven frontend fixes and CRUD work, and a long list of things still to learn.
Two jobs, one learning curve
Ran two real commitments at once — a day job plus freelance clients who needed React Native apps, Python automation and full-stack builds.
Freelance work outgrew one person
Started turning down projects for lack of hours, not skill. The question changed from “how do I do more work?” to “how do I build something that can?”
DanixSoft
Turned that freelance operation into a studio in Lahore — learning to hire, scope and keep quality high without writing every line personally.
Leading the studio
Today: a team of 15+ engineers that has delivered 80+ projects for 50+ clients across SaaS, AI, e-commerce, mobile and enterprise.
