About Me

Hello, I'm Nawab Mahmood

I'm a software engineer, a recent NYU grad, and the first person in my family to graduate college. Right now I spend my days building the video streaming systems that help carry NASA's Artemis III mission to the world.

Being first-gen shaped how I work — I care about building things that actually hold up, not just in theory. Most of my days live in AWS, building the pipelines that keep mission-critical streams reliable when it really counts. Outside of that, I've started writing, trying to put words to what it's like figuring out career, adulthood, and everything else in a pretty strange moment to be young.
