About
Gushi Studio is my independent software practice.
I’m Bashir, and I work across mobile apps, developer tooling, release systems, and independent product development. Friends and colleagues usually call me Bash.
Building products across mobile, tooling, and independent software.
I’m Bashir Towdiee, a Melbourne-based software engineer focused on mobile products, developer tooling, release systems, and thoughtful independent software.
Over the last 6+ years, I’ve worked across Pepperstone, Cognativ, and Dreamwalk, contributing to consumer apps, fintech products, performance and architecture improvements, test automation, release engineering, and mobile platform modernisation.
I’m currently open to permanent and contract opportunities in mobile and software engineering. Alongside that, I’m continuing to build Seda: a local-first transcription and AI note-taking app for iOS and macOS built with Swift, SwiftUI, and on-device AI tooling.
Strengths

- CI/CD, release engineering, and build infrastructure for mobile teams shipping through the App Store and Google Play.
- Test automation, observability, and production diagnostics that make apps easier to ship, support, and improve.
