About

Hello! My name is Hamza and I enjoy building software that quietly ships and keeps working. My path started at COMSATS University where I picked up the software-engineering fundamentals that still guide how I design and build today.

Fast-forward to today, and I've had the privilege of shipping production code at Contour Software, Stem Wizards Academia, and aSimplify — from AI-powered Chrome extensions to ticketing platforms and learning management systems serving thousands of users.

My main focus these days is building product at Devpulse Labs — shipping Pakelp, SawariPool, MyPikups, and a growing portfolio of web and mobile apps for real users.

Alongside that, I've freelanced via BrightSquare — delivering everything from HMS modules and client dashboards to Montessori learning games.

Here are a few technologies I've been working with recently:

  • React
  • Next.js
  • TypeScript
  • React Native
  • Node.js
  • AI Automation
