A short version of a longer story.
I'm Yazel Myhoob. Computer scientist by training, pilot in training by choice, and a builder of practical software in between.
I started in computer science because I liked the feeling of a small, well-built thing doing a job exactly right. A Master's degree and several years of building tools later, that hasn't really changed.
These days my career is pointed at aviation. I'm working through flight training with the same approach I take to software: study the systems, log the hours, respect the checklist, and don't rush the basics.
Outside of work and flying, you'll find me cooking, training, reading, or exploring a well-designed game. They keep me balanced, curious, and sharp.
Computer science
I hold a Master's in Computer Science, and the years since have been spent building software that solves real, unglamorous problems. I care about systems that are reliable, maintainable, and understandable — not just impressive on a demo.
My approach is methodical: understand the problem first, build the smallest viable solution, and iterate. I value clean architecture, clear interfaces, and code that another human can read and reason about six months later.
That training also shaped how I think about aviation. Both fields reward preparation, respect for complexity, and the humility to follow a checklist even when you think you know better.
Aviation
I'm currently working toward my Private Pilot License. It's a long road — ground school, flight hours, checkrides — and I'm taking it one phase at a time.
Aviation appeals to me because it demands the same qualities I value in engineering: systems thinking, situational awareness, and calm decision-making under pressure. A cockpit is just another complex interface, and the stakes make you learn it properly.
I don't know exactly where this path leads yet — commercial, instructing, or something else entirely — but I'm committed to the process. The journey is already changing how I approach problems in every other part of my life.
Personal interests
Cooking
Clear inputs, real outputs, and room to improvise.
Fitness
Reps are an honest interface. Show up, do the work.
Gaming
Small worlds with rules worth learning.
Reading
Engineering, biography, fiction, aviation.
Software & business
I build custom software for small businesses, contractors, and local teams who need real tools but don't want — or need — a six-figure enterprise platform to do simple things well.
My focus is on practical outcomes: CRMs that match your actual sales process, dashboards that surface the metrics you care about, and automations that eliminate work nobody wants to do twice.
I work directly with owners and operators. No agencies, no account managers, no handoffs. Just a conversation about what isn't working, and a plan to fix it.
Let's talk.
Whether you want to collaborate on software, talk aviation, or just say hello — I read every message.
