Maaz Khan

Engineering Student, Systems Design

I'm currently studying at the University of Waterloo.

I previously interned at Ecobee and Miovision as a software engineer, working in both product and systems roles. Highlights include automating 3rd party developer onboarding at Ecobee and migrating a live service onto Kubernetes, taking 9 public routes private. At Miovision, I built an alert system that improved detection of intersections that lost communications by 40%.

I like working on multidisciplinary projects. I've worked on projects involving software, hardware, and mechanical design.
