I build stuff people actually use: web apps, mobile apps, the occasional weird side project. React, Next.js, Django, and React Native are the usual tools.
I like owning a feature start to finish: front end, backend, database, the annoying edge cases nobody wants to touch. If it needs to talk to an API, hold a login, or run in real time, I've probably already broken it once in a way that taught me something.

Interactive terminal. Type a command and press Enter. Try help to see what's available.
Selected Work
Not toy projects. Real users, real constraints, and code that still had to work after launch day.
Sports technology platform connecting players, venues, and academies
A dashboard system that scales by role instead of by special-casing everything, and a frontend that is easier to extend than it was on day one.
Compliance, payments, and internal AI workflow integrations
Less manual onboarding work, tighter security, and an internal AI setup that stays inside infrastructure we actually control.
Personal finance tracker and expense-logging app
Manual expense entry turned into "point phone at receipt": the app extracts and categorizes it, and Gemini generates the spending insights I actually read.
Services
React and Next.js on the front end, Node/Nest/Express behind it, with auth and data flows that actually hold up in production.
React Native and Expo apps with real-time updates, caching, and UX that does not feel like a web page wearing a costume.
REST, GraphQL, Socket.IO, Postgres/MySQL/Mongo, Stripe, webhooks: wiring the pieces together so they stay wired together.

About Me
I'm Sibte Hussain, a full-stack engineer based in Lahore, Pakistan. I build stuff people actually use: web apps, mobile apps, the occasional weird side project. React, Next.js, Django, and React Native are the usual tools. When I'm not shipping something, I'm probably rooting a phone I didn't need to root.
More about meGaming
Mostly single-player, story-first stuff: Cyberpunk 2077, the GTA series, The Last of Us. I'll jump into Valorant or Apex with friends when someone drags me into a lobby.
PC Building
I'm the unofficial IT department of my friend group, building and speccing PCs for whoever asks nicely (or brings snacks).
Phone Tinkering
I root phones and flash custom ROMs for fun, mostly just to squeeze out a bit more performance or battery life. Not always necessary. Always fun.
Music
Pop and upbeat, mostly. I am not a lo-fi-while-coding person.
Contact
If it involves a web app, a mobile app, or something in between, I'm probably interested. Say hi.
