About Me
Hello! I'm Hamza Al Sheikh, a Software Engineer based in Dubai, UAE, with a degree in Computer Engineering. What began as a passion for coding at age 16 has evolved into a fulfilling career building impactful solutions.
Over the past 5+ years, I've specialized in mobile development with a strong focus on React Native and cross-platform applications. For the last 3 years, I've expanded into full-stack development, working remotely with international companies across the UK, Turkey, and Germany.
Working across international teams has strengthened my ability to collaborate across time zones and cultures. I've led challenging projects from offline-first architectures and AES-256 encryption to custom native modules and serverless backends. Beyond coding, I'm passionate about mentoring developers and believe great software is built by great teams.
My toolkit spans JavaScript, TypeScript, React, React Native, Node.js, Express.js, SQL, and AWS, but I focus on thoughtful architecture, clean code, and building secure, scalable solutions. What drives me is solving complex problems and creating applications that people truly rely on.
I'm always open to new opportunities and conversations about technology or interesting projects. Whether it's a potential collaboration, technical discussion, or just exchanging ideas, feel free to reach out!
