About me

Who I am, how I work and what I'm up to.

Hammas Rashid

Hi, I'm Hammas Rashid.

I'm a Full Stack Developer based in Rawalpindi, Pakistan, with a BS in Computer Science from COMSATS University Islamabad. Over 4+ years across full-time and part-time roles, I've built scalable, secure web and mobile applications with React, Next.js, Node.js, NestJS, PostgreSQL and MongoDB.

I previously led the development of a production ERP used across multiple departments and user roles, which cut payroll and fee processing from hours to minutes. I'm strongest in real-time systems (WebSockets), authentication and role-based access control, and taking features from API design all the way to deployment.

Right now I'm a Full Stack Developer at NextByte Pvt. Ltd., contributing to enterprise products including an IoT fleet telematics platform, a transport management system and a real-time work management system. I also take on freelance projects alongside.

Fun facts

A few things about how I think and work.

I like turning complex ideas into simple, clean code.

I often refactor old projects just to improve the code.

In my free time I build small apps to test new tools and ideas.

I enjoy debugging and treating each bug like a puzzle.

I read docs and changelogs to stay sharp with React and JavaScript.

My dream project is a platform that teaches real-world coding step by step.

I like exploring open-source code and learning from real projects.
