Hi, I'm Munshi
About
I'm a recent University at Buffalo graduate with a degree in Information Technology & Management and a minor in Cybersecurity.
I've never been particularly good at staying in one lane. I've worked across technical operations, nonprofits, analytics, automation, security, and software, while spending an arguably unreasonable amount of my free time building things, breaking things, redesigning things, and learning whatever caught my attention that week.
Work Experience
Skills
Check out my latest work
Some become actual products. Some are experiments. Some started because I got annoyed that something didn't already exist.
Bookie.dog
Helping with the early-stage backend for a conversational trading interface built around markets, messaging, and making the whole process less annoying.
Business.dog
Fueling my Windows XP and in-browser OS obsession. Has mini apps, calculators, experiments, and writing about markets and internet businesses. Also partly an excuse to own a `.dog` domain.
I like building things
During university, I kept finding excuses to build stuff: hackathons, startup competitions, incubators, client projects, and random ideas that probably should've stayed in my Notes app. A few even won things.
UB Startup Bootcamp
Swaply
Built Swaply during the UB Startup Bootcamp and somehow walked away with 1st place.
UB Collab ILF Incubator
WebAble
Took WebAble beyond the competition and continued developing it through the UB Collab ILF Incubator.
Doctors Not Debt
DoctorsNotDebt.org
Built DoctorsNotDebt.org for a fellow student trying to make medical-school financing policy slightly less impossible to understand.
UB Criminology Competition
BridgeBack.help
Built BridgeBack.help for a UB criminology competition, combining tech with a problem very far outside my usual lane.
PLOG
/plôg/noun, verb, adjective
Peaceful Life Over Greed
It's a small principle I've tried to keep around while figuring out what I actually want from work and life.
I like ambitious projects. I like building companies. I like technology, markets, and creating things that scale.
But the point isn't to spend your entire life optimizing a number on a screen.
Build interesting things. Help people when you can. Make enough to have freedom. Keep learning. Don't make yourself miserable chasing more simply because more exists.
That's the idea, anyway.
Get in Touch
If you're building something interesting, weird, useful, or some combination of the three, I'm probably down to hear about it.
