Delivering, one deployment at a time!
Building, leading and fire-fighting at scale.
Hey there! I’m Adnan and I engineer software. Ten years ago I started using Linux containers, and today I lead teams that solve problems at scale. I have spent countless hours chasing pesky side-effects in products, reducing latency of message brokers and cutting costs of cloud providers. Nice to meet you! Have a look at what I’ve been up to.
