Ebn Sina

I've spent the last several years shipping software that real people rely on — backend services, developer tools, and the occasional deeply unfashionable internal CLI. I care about correctness, taste, and shipping.

My work sits at the intersection of infrastructure and product: distributed backends built to survive real traffic, frontends that don't make users wait, and the platform engineering layer that makes both sustainable. Currently deep in video infrastructure — ingest pipelines, transcoding at scale, and the edge caching that gets frames to viewers fast.

Background

Started with web development, drifted toward systems, ended up somewhere in between — which turns out to be where most of the interesting problems live. I've worked across the stack long enough to have strong opinions about most layers of it, and enough scars to know which opinions to hold loosely.

Tools I reach for most: Go, Rust, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, Redis, nginx/OpenResty. Currently learning where Rust fits best and how far you can push edge compute before it becomes the wrong abstraction.

Beyond the terminal

Coffee brewed carefully, long walks with no destination, occasional bouldering. I read more than I finish and take notes in the margins.
