About me

The
full
story.

I'm Samin — a CS graduate and developer based in Toronto. I build things for the web, with a particular interest in the intersection of AI and practical tooling. Right now that means a lot of Python, TypeScript, and asking large language models to do useful work.

I grew up obsessed with technology in every form — computers, game consoles, robotics, cars, anything with a circuit in it. That obsession became a degree, and the degree became a career. The obsession never really went away.

Outside of code I'm an occassional football player(soccer for you NA people also AUS), a gamer (too many hours logged to admit), and a lifelong Manchester United supporter. The last one requires the most resilience of the three.

Beyond the code

What I
care about.

Manchester United supporter since before I could make good decisions. No regrets.

Video games

From FIFA to FromSouls games to strategy deep-dives. Gaming is where I decompress.

Photography

Street and travel. I find it slows you down — you start noticing things you'd otherwise walk past.

Technology

Computers, robotics, electric vehicles, space. If it has a chip or a motor, I'm interested.
