I'm Hamza, a Full Stack Engineer with two years of professional experience building Python backends and AI/LLM integrations that run in production — plus a computer science degree with top grades in AI, machine learning, and algorithms.

I started notvibescoded because of a pattern I kept seeing: founders paying for software that demoed beautifully and collapsed on contact with users. Forty-thousand-line monoliths. Secrets in client bundles. Databases with no locks. All of it generated in a weekend, all of it somebody's expensive lesson.

The studio's position is simple: AI is a magnificent bricklayer and a terrible architect. I use it where it's strong — speed on well-defined work — and I do the architectural thinking myself: what the system should be, what can go wrong, and what "done" actually means.

The blog is the other half of the studio. Rankings, teardowns, and craft notes — public proof of how I think about software, published twice a week whether or not it wins clients. (It wins clients.)
