I build things
that help people.

I'm Muqtasid Mohammad, a software engineering student at RMIT working across full-stack web, iOS, and systems. I love turning an idea into something real — and slipping in a bit of my own creative touch along the way.

01 — About

I'm a second-year Software Engineering student at RMIT, and I've spent that time building as much as I can — a full-stack booking platform, an iOS app, a C++ world generator, and algorithm-heavy projects in between.

What pulls me in is building things that genuinely matter to people — in community, education, and health. I care about the craft too: I'll always try to leave a project with a little of my own personality in it, whether that's a considered theme, a font, or a small interaction, without ever losing sight of what the brief actually needs.

I recently graduated the Apple Foundation Program at RMIT, where I learned to design around real people first and code second. I'm eager to keep learning, and happy to be mentored into the developer a team needs.

Projects

Venue Vendors

Complete Mar – Jun 2026
Full-Stack Venue Booking Platform

A booking platform where hirers browse and book venues, vendors manage their spaces, and admins oversee it all. React + TypeScript + Next.js front end, Node/Express/TypeORM back end on MS SQL (AWS RDS), JWT auth, and a separate GraphQL analytics dashboard with Apollo.

What I took from it How much the boring foundations — auth, roles, a clean data model — decide whether the fun parts ever work.

Dishcovery

Complete Jun – Jul 2026
iOS Cultural Heritage App · Apple Foundation Program

A SwiftUI app helping second-generation immigrants reconnect with their culture through interactive stories and shared recipes. I built screens including a world map, a quiz flow, a leaderboard, a passport/stamp collection, and a custom animated tab bar.

What I took from it To understand the person before writing a line of code — and that it's okay to throw an idea away when testing tells you to.

Procedural Village Generation

Complete Sep – Nov 2025
C++ Algorithms · Minecraft (mcpp)

A team-of-three procedural village generator built on the Minecraft C++ API. I worked on the core plot-finding and validation algorithms, terraforming logic, and deterministic test suites that keep generation consistent across seeds.

What I took from it That "make it random" and "make it repeatable" pull against each other — and good tests are how you hold both.

Disease Outbreak Modelling

Complete Mar – Jun 2026
Graph Algorithms

A model of disease spread across a population graph — analysing infection risk and planning limited-resource interventions with dynamic-programming and allocation algorithms, validated with test cases across varied inputs.

What I took from it How a messy real-world problem becomes tractable the moment you find the right way to represent it.
