I am a current Master of Engineering Student at Cornell Tech studying Computer Science. Before this, I was a Staff Software Engineer at HBO working on HBO Now and HBO Max Commerce and Billing Services. I studied Computer Science, with a minor in Entrepreneurship, at the University of Washington (UW), Seattle. Previously I interned at HBO, Shippable, VMware and IBM. During my time at UW I was an Executive Organizer for DubHacks, Vice Chair for UW-ACM and Co-President, StartupUW. My passions lie in digital photography, where I blend art and technology, and in writing. In our spare time, my fiancè and I enjoy hikes and are very passionate about animal rescue and have had the pleasure of fostering several dogs. Feel free to reach out to me at mk@mahirk.com
