Based in Canada · Open to building useful things

I turn complicated systems into clear, reliable products.

I'm Mehir, a computer science student and analytics engineer working across full-stack product development, secure infrastructure, and data. Most recently, I built identity automation systems at RBC that cut onboarding and offboarding time by about 85%.
