About Me

Hello! I'm Muizz

I am a software engineer working on web applications, web infrastructures, video games, applications, and more. I have been developing professionally for 4+ years but tinkering since I was a kid. I started in tech by creating my own projects which led me to pursue internships and freelance work.

My diverse job history provides me with a strong palette of knowledge when it comes to my career. I have had positions as a scrum master, Chief Technical Officer, graphic/web design, web app development, game development, front-end development and back-end development. I can help everywhere in the stack and I love keeping multiple different tasks on my plate. Although I do think my strong points are aligned with back-end development.

I believe the strongest abilities that make a great software engineer is not their experience on a particular language, but their capacity and speed to learn/adapt a new language, framework, or API. Alongside that, having a strong work ethic drives a team with motivation to work and also pushes projects into success. My strong work ethic tied in synergy to my curiosity leads me to always succesfully finish new projects adapting new technologies. In fact, One of my major achievements is that I'm a self-taught React developer, Unreal Engine developer, and fullstack developer.

Customer Experience @ Relay

Muizz was a major asset to the team during his time at Greencube, always willing to provide support to his team no matter what. Working together during a pivotal growth period within a startup environment, Muizz contributed immensely to developing and improving our technology, working with clients, and sharing novel ideas. Professionalism aside, Muizz was a friendly face around the office and a fellow cat-lover, and I'm happy to say that we're still good friends. Thanks Muizz!

Growth @ Relay

I had the pleasure of working closely with Muizz during his time as 'Full Stack Engineer' at Greencube. Having started around the same time, Muizz and I supported each other while navigating the world of tech, which was new to both of us; we quickly became cordial, and very soon after, friends. Professionally, Muizz is a natural problem solver. At an early-stage startup where technical issues are bound to arise, he was constantly challenged with novel problems, and always delivered out of the box (and effective) solutions. Aside from his professional ability, Muizz is a genuine, caring individual who is always willing to take time out of his day to help his team thrive.
