Ghulam Mustafa
Founder background
Self-taught Full-Stack Developer & Founder of NorthReason. My journey is unconventional—I left school after 9th grade, but a deep passion for technology led me to learn full-stack development entirely for free via YouTube and AI models over the past year. At 20, I built NorthReason, an AI reasoning engine that converts natural language into production-ready WordPress plugins and React/Next.js components. It features live previews, ElevenLabs voice integration, and a fully functional Polar payment system. I'm here to build in public, share my journey as a self-taught indie hacker from Pakistan, and connect with fellow founders. Always shipping! 🚀

I dropped out of school after 9th grade. Today, I am…
No CS degree. No paid bootcamps. No rich background. Just a village boy from Pakistan, a laptop, YouTube, and a year of relentless self-learning. Over the last 7 days, I built NorthReason—an AI reasoning engine that turns plain English into production-ready WordPress plugins and React/Nextjs components. What’s under the hood? ⚡️ Nextjs 15 & Supabase (Auth + RLS) 💳 Polar (Live payments & Webhooks) 🎙️ ElevenLabs (Voice AI for code explanations) 🧠 Groq & Claude (AI reasoning) Building this wasn't easy. I struggled with backend logic, payment webhooks, and deployment errors. But I didn't quit. I'm building in public to share this journey, connect with fellow indie hackers, and get my first 100 users. If you're a developer, freelancer, or founder, I'd love your honest feedback. What was the hardest part when you built your first SaaS? Let's connect below! #buildinpublic #SaaS #indiehacker #nextjs #AI #Nextjs
