Portrait of Uzair Vawda

01 · About

Building software, learning business.

I'm a software engineer with experience across aerospace, financial services, and legal tech. I'm currently shipping at Collins Aerospace and pursuing my MBA at Baruch's Zicklin School of Business.

The plan: pair an engineering foundation with the business instincts that turn good code into useful products. On the side I build JHParking, train jiu jitsu, and live in NYC.

Coffee

Pour-overs at home, espresso when I'm out.

Traveling

Notes from new cities tend to end up shaping side projects.
