About

The Nuance Project is a small, independent studio. It is a single place to keep the work that comes out of my own hours — the software I build for myself or for people who need it, the writing I publish when I have something worth saying, and the occasional note on something I’ve been working through.

The work here is shipped under the studio’s name rather than my own because I want it to stand on its own. A piece of software is a piece of software. Whether the person behind it is a company of one or a company of one hundred shouldn’t change what the software does or how reliably it does it. The studio is the home for that work, the website is its front door, and the name on the door is The Nuance Project.

What you’ll find here is intentionally narrow. There won’t be dozens of projects. The plan is to put out a small number of things that are actually finished, that are maintained over time, and that hold up to use — not a long list of half-built experiments. The same goes for the writing. When there is something to share, it appears here. When there isn’t, the page stays quiet.

Updates to anything on this site happen on the studio’s own pace. No newsletter. No social feed. The work is the signal — when something new is here, you’ll see it on the page.

I’m Mohamad Shahin Ambalatha Kandy. Most people call me Shahin.

I’m a software engineer in Bangalore. I currently work in research and development at a company in the electrical safety and reliability space. My team builds Industrial IoT (IIoT) products in that space, and I work on the software side. The Nuance Project is what I do with the rest of my time and attention.

I have a master’s degree in computer science from Northumbria University, Newcastle.
