Hamza Hamid
Full-Stack Software Engineer
Full-stack software engineer, three years in. I build the whole product — ASP.NET Core and PostgreSQL underneath, Next.js and React Native on top — and I'd rather own a feature from the requirements conversation through to the store release than hand it across a boundary. Most recently that meant a clean-architecture .NET API with Stripe Connect driver payouts, Hangfire background jobs and SignalR real-time, plus the Expo client that consumes it. Three of the products I've shipped are live today. I've also put OpenAI and Gemini into real product flows, not demos.
Experience
Software Engineer — Devpulse Labs
- Build three products end to end, Pakelp, SawariPool and MyPikups, across the API, the database, the web app and the mobile client.
- Wrote the MyPikups backend: an ASP.NET Core 10 / PostgreSQL API on a clean-architecture split, ~41 endpoints covering booking, driver matching, flight tracking, payouts and messaging, with JWT access/refresh rotation and EF Core.
- Integrated Stripe Checkout and Stripe Connect so drivers are paid out per period with commission split automatically; scheduled booking cleanup and ride reminders on Hangfire, and pushed live ride updates over SignalR.
- Built the matching Expo / React Native client on top of that API, rider and driver flows, push notifications, location search and in-app messaging.
- Mentor a two-person team and run the day-to-day loop with design and QA, scoping, review, release.
Software Engineer — aSimplify
- Built dynamic SVG seat-map generation with interactive selection for ticketsonsale.com, so users could browse and buy across arena-scale venues.
- Shipped Upwork Analytics, a published Chrome extension (5.0★ on the Web Store, 100+ users) that scrapes and parses job listings into a personal in-extension dashboard.
- Wired OpenAI and Gemini through LangChain to draft tailored cover letters from a user's profile and the job context, with one-click apply and applied-job tracking.
- Worked the front end and performance of two high-traffic platforms, payment flow, cookie and cache strategy, and render bottlenecks.
Frontend Developer — Stem Wizards Academia
- Led front-end development of AirAcademic, a React learning-management system used by 1,000+ students and teachers.
- Turned loose product requirements into mobile-responsive interfaces that held up on the low-end Android devices most students actually used.
MERN Stack Trainee — Contour Software
- Completed a structured MERN-stack program under industry mentors, building working proficiency across MongoDB, Express, React and Node.
Assistant IT Manager — Jinnah International Hospital
- Owned project management for the Hospital Management System, gathered required fixes and workflow improvements from clinical staff, then coordinated developers, internal teams and the hospital board on priorities and delivery.
Software Engineer — Freelance · via BrightSquare
- Debugging, bug fixes and feature work on client codebases, including HMS modules and Checkers4Money.
- Built Montessori learning games for early-childhood education: memory-match and object-recognition activities designed around how young kids actually use a screen.
