I'm Hamza Nasher-Alneam

About me

I'm a high school student in the United States. When I have time, I enjoy writing unoptimized code, messing around with Linux (Fedora KDE btw) and servers, or practicing for CyberPatriots. I hope to pursure some sort of computer science or engineering degree in college.

Work

With senior year of high school well under way, it's difficult to find time for side projects, but I've been working on a prayer times plasmoid (widget) for KDE (code here), as well as a game for the Hack Club program Juice.

Over the summer I was able to work on some projects, the most prominent among them being FetchCV, a developer profile site that I'm working on with a friend. Another smaller project was Activity Log, a time tracking tool with graphs. If you want to see what project I'm working on this week, it'll be up on my GitHub.

Recently, I've been working on a server, an old desktop from around 2010. It's running Kubuntu, because for some reason I decided a desktop OS would be great for a server. Now I'm trying to self-host everything, from photo backup with Immich to file backup with Rysnc to web analytics with Umami, along with a self-hosted Forgejo instance, which is a pain. Almost everything is up on my domain, hnasheralneam.dev, and anything else is on GitHub.
