01 / IGNITION
FIRST BURN
Hey — I'm Hasnain. Eighteen, living in Dubai, about to start Aerospace Engineering at TU Delft.
I build things that actually get used — the software further down this page runs inside a real company today. Everything official is in my resume; this site is just me showing you around.
02 / ASCENT · INSTACOOL
SOFTWARE THAT SHIPPED
Three tools a real AC company runs on every day.
Built for Instacool, an AC/HVAC maintenance company, and actually adopted in their day-to-day operations.
- 01
InstaCool Photos App
AndroidA camera that files its own photos.
Dedicated Before/After capture buttons auto-route each photo into the correct job folder, auto-timestamp and geotag it, and export a ready-to-share .zip over WhatsApp — eliminating manual sorting of hundreds of photos.
Xynth69/InstacoolPhotos - 02
PPM Generator
Desktop (runs locally on engineers' laptops)Hours of paperwork, one click.
Turns the sorted before/after photos into a formatted PPM report in a single click, replacing hours of manual report assembly.
- 03
Checklist Digitization / OCR Pipeline
Batch tool (Claude API)Handwriting in. Spreadsheets out.
Batch-converts scanned and handwritten job checklists into an Excel reference database, enabling pre-filled job cards. Takes roughly 2–3 hours to onboard a full project; because OCR isn't perfect on handwriting, results are cross-verified.
Impact Cuts engineer and technician time on report creation and on-site data entry, directly increasing the number of jobs completed per day.
Read the case study
Problem
Technicians spent hours after every visit sorting hundreds of before/after photos by hand, hand-writing reference and serial numbers on-site, and assembling PPM reports manually.
Approach
Built three connected tools: a capture app that files photos as they're taken, a one-click report generator off those sorted photos, and an OCR pipeline that turns handwritten checklists into a pre-fillable Excel reference database.
Outcome
Engineers and technicians spend far less time on report creation and on-site data entry — the whole suite is in real, ongoing use at the company and directly increases jobs completed per day.
Stack
- Android
- Claude API (OCR)
- Excel automation
- Local desktop tooling
03 / ASCENT · LDR
LIGHTS OUT, LAMP ON
A circuit that switches itself on as the sun goes down.
Role of LDRs in Night Lamp Sensors — an automatic night-lamp circuit using a light-dependent resistor to switch based on ambient light.
Read the case study
Problem
Low-cost automatic lighting needs to switch on reliably at dusk without manual control or wasted power.
Approach
Designed and built an LDR-based night-lamp circuit that senses ambient light and switches the lamp accordingly, then bench-tested it.
Outcome
Evaluated the efficiency and reliability of low-cost lighting; built hands-on electronics, circuit-testing, and data-analysis skills.
Stack
- LDR sensor
- Analog circuit design
- Breadboard prototyping
- Data analysis
04 / ASCENT · BIOFUEL
FUEL FROM WASTE
Turning used cooking oil into combustible fuel — and measuring what it's worth.
Development of Biofuel Using Organic Substances — produced biofuel from organic materials such as vegetable oil via transesterification.
Read the case study
Problem
Fossil fuels are finite and polluting; organic waste like used cooking oil is an abundant, underused feedstock.
Approach
Produced biofuel from organic materials via transesterification, then studied its chemical and combustion properties.
Outcome
Compared the biofuel's efficiency and environmental impact against fossil fuels.
Stack
- Transesterification
- Combustion analysis
- Comparative testing
05 / EARTH ORBIT
SIGNAL FROM DUBAI
50+ students taught in person. A network reaching 5,000+ across 10+ schools.
Tutor & HR Coordinator Insilt Educate
Taught English to 50+ students, built lesson materials and quizzes, and coordinated tutors and course materials as part of the HR team. The volunteer network has reached 5,000+ underprivileged students across 10+ schools.

Δv = vₑ · ln(m₀/mf) — the rocket equation. Try it.
Δv = 8,946 m/s — enough for low Earth orbit.
07 / JUPITER
STILL RUNNING
Jupiter's storm has been running for centuries. Same energy — here's what's running right now.
Learning Python & CAD
The tools behind the aerospace work: CAD to draw it, Python to compute it.
