Backend heavy engineer with full-stack capability, mostly working with Go, Node.js, Next.js, and TypeScript. Interested in how end-to-end systems hold up at scale, not just backend correctness, but UI responsiveness, performance, observability, and operability.
A bit of everything across the stack: database internals, distributed systems, open-source internals, tracing, infra, concurrency control, and clean client integration. Passionate about reading open source codebases, collaborating with maintainers, and giving back through contributions.
Building SquareDonations. Freelance full-stack & backend work on Fiverr (35+ reviews).
I write about system design, database internals, Go, and Node.js at faiyazrahman.me.
