# Bilal Mahmood > SWE @ Mia Labs Location: Austin, Texas, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/bilal Not interested in any services/no soliciting please thanks. Not hunting for any new jobs either idc if its google etc sorry! I build the future one system at a time. With a Master’s in Computer Science (4.0 GPA, published thesis, Graduate Student of the Year at Lamar University) and post-graduate specialization in AI/ML from UT Austin, I’m relentlessly focused on creating technology that doesn’t just work but dominates the competition. I’ve engineered full-stack software systems, architected production AI pipelines, and shipped real-world computer vision products using cutting-edge models like SAM and Detectron2. Today, I’m helping scale a high-velocity startup that’s already shifting an entire industry, blending deep technical execution with real product intuition. What sets my work apart is simple: I don’t just code. I think like a founder. I design with users in mind, move with urgency, and build systems engineered to dominate at scale. The old way of doing things is breaking. AI is changing everything. I’m here to be part of the new wave and to help lead it. If you're building something ambitious, solving hard problems, or want to collaborate with someone who combines engineering depth with strategic firepower, reach out!

During my master’s and bachelor’s degrees, I undertook various projects to streamline day-to-day operations. For example, I created a Java-based tool to automate live game price tracking on RuneScape, forecast prices using historical data, and suggest investment opportunities. I am currently converting this tool into a web application. I also ensured accurate game data gathering from the Steam database by leveraging Steam API and JSON. Moreover, I enhanced user experience on a music application by creating a Python-based script to quickly close popup ads. Similarly, I utilized Python to create a dictionary program to predict misspelled words.
