01About

Engineer first, product mindset.

Portrait of Ali Hamza

I'm a software engineer in Regensburg, Germany. I started with full-stack web apps and have since worked on real products with React, Next.js, TypeScript, Node.js, Go and PostgreSQL.

At Gamma Labs I built most of the frontend for Folionomics, a crypto portfolio analytics product, and contributed to its Go services and RAG chat. At university I co-built DepEase, which automates deployment of student projects with Jenkins, Docker and AWS.

I want to work where frontend, backend and AI meet: taking an idea from the product conversation to something deployed and dependable.

Now

  • Studying robotics at TH Deggendorf
  • Building semantic search with pgvector
  • Open to full-stack and applied AI roles

03Featured work

Two projects that shaped how I build.

What I personally did is shown as highlights. What the whole product does is a click away.

1/5
Portfolio view: net worth over 30 days, allocation and the full position book across wallets.1 / 5

  • Data-heavy UI

    Virtualized tables with sticky headers for thousands of positions.

  • Async refresh

    Job polling with loading, partial-update and retry states.

  • Sharing

    Public and private portfolio views with share links.

  • Go + RAG

    Gin/GORM service tasks and the Qdrant-backed AI chat.

01 · 2024 – 2026

Folionomics

Multi-chain portfolio analytics

Professional · team product

A product that pulls wallets, DeFi positions and charts from many chains into one view. I owned most of the Next.js frontend and contributed to the Go backend and the AI chat.

Crypto holdings are spread across wallets, chains and protocols, each with a different data format. Users want one clear picture of value, history and exposure.

How it fits together
What the whole product does
  • Tracks wallets across EVM networks, Solana and Bitcoin.
  • Go (Gin) API with GORM and PostgreSQL normalises several providers.
  • Background refresh jobs with persisted progress.
  • Share links with expiry and revocation.
  • AI chat grounded in the user's own portfolio via Qdrant embeddings.
  • Team and product capabilities, not individual authorship.
1/5
Deployments: connect Jenkins, then run the frontend or backend pipeline.1 / 5

  • One-click deploy

    Webhook → Jenkins → Docker → AWS, ending in a live URL.

  • Academic workflow

    Proposals, supervisors, sprints and evaluations in one place.

  • Role-based access

    Students, panels, evaluators and admins each get their own view.

  • Outcome

    Reviewers open projects from a link instead of installing them.

DepEase

Project management + one-click deployment for universities

University team project

Final-year project at FAST-NUCES. One platform for proposals, supervisors, sprints and evaluations, plus a pipeline that deploys any student project to a live URL.

Final-year projects meant scattered paperwork and evaluators installing student code locally just to review it.
