πŸ‘‹ I'm Moaaz, a software engineer & designer, currently hacking on hardware.

I've worked with bits for most of my career, and have been experimenting with atoms more recently. I enjoy building well-designed products that solve meaningful problems for people.

I currently lead engineering at ETHGlobal – the most valuable community of developers building with decentralized technologies & building onchain apps.

Before that, I was a staff software engineer at Dialogue, building distributed systems to scale virtual healthcare to 2M+ Canadians.

I also spend some of my time helping start, advise & invest in early stage teams. Iβ€˜d love to hear from you if youβ€˜re building in healthcare, biotech, climate, clean energy, housing, education, food, gaming, transportation or manufacturing!

I enjoy building projects on the side – right now I'm designing & building a 3D printed autonomous platform for snow blowing and lawn mowing, working through the electronics, mechanics and software parts of the problem.

I've also been experimenting with low-cost robot arms & AI for robotics.

I studied computer science at the University of Waterloo with a focus towards machine intelligence & human computer interaction, and a specialization in digital design.

My past work includes building Tutr, engineering at Coursera, Hack the North, FreshBooks and Hootsuite, and design at Mappedin.
