Building something new
Heads-down with a small team on an early-stage idea. Too soon to say much — ask me over coffee and I'll tell you more than I should.

Hi — I'm Minhaz, a builder at heart.
If you like science and tech, let's hang out. If you love science fiction, we might be best friends. In between, I build software and try to keep up with whatever's coming next.
Now — heads-down building something new with a small team.
A little about me
Curious by nature, always tinkering.
I started building for smart devices back when most people were perfectly happy with their Nokias and BlackBerrys — and I've been chasing what's next ever since. Somewhere along the way, tinkering became a career and New York became home.
These days I live on music, spend my free time re-watching the same sci-fi for the hundredth time, and make travel plans that occasionally even happen. The best thing about technology is the same as the best thing about travel: you get to see how differently the world can work.
I try not to take any of it too seriously. I'm happiest in the corner of a coffee shop with headphones on and a problem worth poking at.
What I'm up to
A few things keeping me busy.
Not an exhaustive list — just what's got my attention right now.
Side projects
There's always something half-built on my laptop — little tools, experiments, and ideas I can't quite let go of. Some ship; most just teach me something.
In the open
I've answered questions on Stack Overflow for years and tinker in the open on GitHub. Helping someone unstick a stubborn bug still feels great.
Off the clock
The other half of the story.
Sci-fi
Star Wars or Star Trek? Choose wisely.
I'll happily debate either, defend the prequels on a good day, and re-watch the classics on every other one.
"Once you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth." — Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
Travel
Always booking the next trip.
I love spontaneous travel — not knowing exactly where I'm going makes the whole thing more interesting. The running bucket list: live on every continent and see all seven wonders.
