Alikamatu Osama

Full Stack Developer · Product Builder

I build and ship real-world web applications — from system design and backend logic to clean, usable interfaces — with a focus on solving practical problems.

01. About Me

I’m a Software Engineer focused on building practical, scalable products that solve real problems. I work primarily across full-stack web development, backend systems, and product-focused engineering, with a strong bias toward clarity, performance, and real-world usability.

I’m the Founder of AllMapHostels, a live platform helping students discover and book off-campus hostels based on proximity to their schools. I’ve led the product end-to-end — from problem discovery and system design to deployment, onboarding, and iteration with real users.

Beyond AllMapHostels, I’ve built and shipped products across fintech, healthtech, internal tools, and operations software, including automation systems and SaaS platforms used in real workflows.

I care deeply about execution: making thoughtful technical decisions, shipping reliable systems, and continuously improving products based on feedback and constraints — not just writing code for its own sake.

How I Work

I focus on building production-ready web applications end-to-end — from system design and database modeling to clean UI and reliable deployment. I prioritize clarity, maintainability, and solving real user problems over chasing tools or trends.
