Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichael Mazour is a software architecture and engineering consultant with over a decade of experience building scalable, secure, and auditable systems across FinTech, LegalTech and regulated markets in the UK and US. He combines hands‑on backend engineering (notably contributions to Overleaf’s export and integration features) with strategic leadership—defining technology roadmaps, guiding M&A technical due diligence, and designing privacy-sensitive data and identity architectures.

Equally at home implementing low‑level performance improvements and advising boards on market expansion, he brings an uncommon blend of operational rigor, regulatory savvy, and product-focused pragmatism informed by an early career delivering nation‑scale systems.
