Nick Mazuk
Summary
👤
SeniorNick Mazuk is a software engineer with 12 years of experience who currently works at Google in Mountain View, improving YouTube Music and Cross-Device performance. He has a strong background in music software, having rewritten large parts of MuseScore’s engraving engine to support SMuFL and redesigned the beaming system to produce higher-quality notation 16% faster for over 14 million users. At Google he improved YouTube Living Room load time by 19% by creating a linter adopted by roughly 100 developers, showing a knack for developer tooling and performance optimization. Nick blends deep domain knowledge in music composition (BA/BM, UC Santa Barbara) with pragmatic backend engineering, often refactoring legacy codebases into modern, maintainable systems. His open-source contributions to a widely used notation project demonstrate both user-focused impact and attention to intricate algorithmic detail. He’s equally comfortable shipping production improvements at scale and digging into the notation math that makes sheet music readable and correct.
