I build full-stack products, and occasionally root a phone that was working fine.
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
Stuff I've actually shipped.
Not toy projects. Real users, real constraints, and code that still had to work after launch day.
NowVPlay
VisitSports 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.
Next.js, Django, Redux Toolkit, OAuth, Material UI
Pecunia and Custom Dev Integrations
VisitCompliance, payments, and internal AI workflow integrations
Less manual onboarding work, tighter security, and an internal AI setup that stays inside infrastructure we actually control.
Next.js, Stripe, NextAuth, Ollama, Qwen
Kunji
VisitSociety management and collaboration platform
Residents got one app instead of a folder of forms, and complaints and visitor entries started moving faster because nobody was waiting on a security guard with a clipboard.
React Native, Redux Toolkit, Socket.IO, OAuth
GoodFynd
VisitPOS and operations platform for food trucks and mobile vendors
Smoother day-to-day vendor operations, and roughly 15-18% faster responsiveness from the caching and sync work.
React Native, Expo, Redux Toolkit, React Query, Socket.IO
VueCent
VisitPersonal 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.
React Native, Expo, Redux Toolkit, React Query, Gemini API
Services
What I actually get hired to do.
Full-stack web apps
React and Next.js on the front end, Node/Nest/Express behind it, with auth and data flows that actually hold up in production.
Mobile apps
React Native and Expo apps with real-time updates, caching, and UX that does not feel like a web page wearing a costume.
APIs, databases, and integrations
REST, GraphQL, Socket.IO, Postgres/MySQL/Mongo, Stripe, webhooks: wiring the pieces together so they stay wired together.
Career Snapshot
The short version of how I got here.
Oct 2024 - Present
Software Engineer
PlanLab Solutions
Building and maintaining the core product across web and mobile, mostly Next.js and React Native, with Django doing the heavy lifting on the backend.
Sep 2023 - Oct 2024
Associate Software Developer
Agile District
Built out React and Next.js platforms, migrated a chunk of legacy JavaScript to TypeScript, and got the local dev environment Dockerized so it stopped only working on one laptop.
2018 - 2022
BS Computer Science
University of Management and Technology
Where I learned the fundamentals, and where "it works on my machine" stopped being an acceptable final answer.
About Me
Hello, World.
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
Got something to build?
If it involves a web app, a mobile app, or something in between, I'm probably interested. Say hi.
