About

Hey, I'm Mahad

I started programming at 12 and have been building ever since. Now I’m a second-year software engineering student at Western, taking things from an empty repository to software people actually enjoy using, and owning every layer in between.

I work fast, take a lot of ownership, and do my best work on a team. If you’re building something exciting, let’s connect.

Approach

Engineering that holds up

Here’s what owning a system end to end actually looks like in practice.

How products reach users and keep them.

Work

Where I've worked

A product I designed, shipped, and still run, a growth role that taught me how software actually reaches the people who use it, and a campus role helping more students build with AI.

Projects

Things I've built and shipped

A few things I’ve taken from idea to reality. Pick a card to see what’s behind it. Or check the graveyard to see what didn’t make it 💀
