~/about

Engineer first. Product-minded always.

I'm Mazin, the engineer behind the studio — a Senior Software Engineer based in Mississauga, Ontario, currently at the Ontario Securities Commission, where I lead development on mission-critical regulatory portals built with Python, Azure Functions, and Angular. Work where reliability and code quality aren't nice-to-haves, they're the job.

Over 7+ years I've modernized legacy suites into cloud-native platforms, led a cross-functional team as a Technical Lead at Beanfield Metroconnect, co-built a company-wide design system, and shipped everything from banking software in London to AI chatbots in Toronto. I hold my code to a high bar — 94.3% unit test coverage on my current Azure Function modules — and I hold my teams to a supportive one.

Away from the keyboard you'll find me outdoors — paddle boarding, beach days, and finding excuses to haul too much gear.

values.first

Quality is measurable

Test coverage, SonarQube gates, TDD — I make code quality visible, not aspirational.

values.second

Modernize, don't patch

Legacy systems deserve real architecture — cloud-native, documented, built to last.

values.third

Lift the team

Mentoring, technical interviews, onboarding programs — leadership is engineering work too.
