Zbigniew Mastylo

Principal Engineer & Tech Lead

Building scalable systems and mentoring high-performing teams

About Me

I build systems that scale, empower developers, and deliver real results.

I've led teams, built audit platforms, architected microservices, and released OSS like Rivusio and Zephcast.

I care about clean code, engineering culture, and moving fast without breaking clarity.

Based in Georgetown, TX — running on black coffee, clean commits, and zero excuses.

  • Secure API integrations with third parties — health tech, compliance, and reimbursements
  • OSS dev — creator of Rivusio (streaming) and Zephcast (messaging)
  • Mentoring, leadership, and building high-output teams that ship
  • Obsessed with performance, clarity, and shipping fast without breaking what works
