## Case studies

- [4X Lead Conversion: Rebuilding a B2B Landing Page Funnel](https://dilshadbukhari.com/case-studies/conversion-4x): How a B2B landing page went from under 1% to a 4X lead conversion lift through funnel instrumentation, form simplification, and a six-week structured test plan.
- [Zero-Downtime Migration to Scalable Infrastructure](https://dilshadbukhari.com/case-studies/infrastructure-zero-downtime): How a high-growth platform migrated to horizontally-scalable infrastructure with zero downtime — read replicas, queue-backed jobs, and CDN-fronted assets, rolled out with feature flags.
- [Kelavo: Building an AI Automation SaaS for Freelancers & Agencies](https://dilshadbukhari.com/case-studies/kelavo-ai-automation-saas): How I built Kelavo, an AI automation SaaS for agencies and freelancers: six AI agents, an approval-first workflow, and subscription billing, from lead to invoice.
- [Freight Broker CRM: Running a Brokerage from Quote to Invoice](https://dilshadbukhari.com/case-studies/freight-broker-crm): A custom freight broker CRM and TMS: quotes, load pipeline, late-load alerts, carrier COI compliance, POD-gated billing, and weekly margin reports in one workspace.

## Blog posts

- [From MVP to scale: a senior dev's playbook for SaaS in 2026](https://dilshadbukhari.com/blog/saas-mvp-to-scale-2026-playbook): Ten-plus years of shipping SaaS, distilled to the five week-4 decisions that compound: identity, billing, multi-tenancy, queues, and observability. Get them right early.
- [Integrating OpenAI without making your product feel bolted-on](https://dilshadbukhari.com/blog/openai-integration-without-feeling-bolted-on): Most AI features fail because the UI is wrong, not the model. Design from the user's task backwards: latency budgets, skeleton states, and evals that catch regressions.
- [Designing APIs that survive a redesign of the frontend](https://dilshadbukhari.com/blog/apis-that-survive-frontend-redesign): An API survives when its resource shapes describe the domain, not the screen. Cursor pagination, idempotency keys, URL versioning, and contract tests that catch silent breakage.
- [Cutting P95 latency by 60% on a Next.js + Postgres stack](https://dilshadbukhari.com/blog/cutting-p95-latency-nextjs-postgres): P50 latency lies. Real wins live in cold-cache query plans, sequential awaits that should be parallel, and middleware that runs on every request. Six weeks of audits.
- [A pragmatic AWS setup for solo devs and small teams](https://dilshadbukhari.com/blog/pragmatic-aws-setup-solo-devs): AWS punishes ambition. The minimal stack that gets you to production: ECS Fargate, RDS, S3, CloudFront, Route 53. Cost guardrails and upgrade paths that scale with you.
- [Why your landing page converts at 0.8% (and how to fix it)](https://dilshadbukhari.com/blog/landing-page-conversion-fixes): Five concrete patterns that consistently move landing-page conversion: outcome-led headlines, soft CTAs, specific social proof, second-action capture, and form discipline.
- [Building admin dashboards that ops teams actually use](https://dilshadbukhari.com/blog/admin-dashboards-ops-teams-use): An admin dashboard succeeds when ops stops opening the spreadsheet. Information density, defaults that respect the workflow, and the underrated power of a good empty state.
