After a long quiet stretch, I am picking the blog back up again—this time on Hugo with the Blowfish theme.

About

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

This site is where I publish notes and longer write-ups on software, systems, and tools I use day to day. Expect a mix of practical engineering detail, experiments that did not quite go to plan, and occasional commentary on how we build and run things.

About me
#

I am Akram, a software engineer. I care about building reliable systems, clear interfaces between humans and machines, and writing that helps the next reader (including future me) move faster.

I work across the stack and spend a lot of time on cloud-native platforms, automation, and lately more AI-assisted engineering and agent-style workflows in real codebases—not just demos.

For code and smaller experiments, I am usually on GitHub. For professional background and endorsements, see LinkedIn.

Contact
#

The easiest way to reach me for something public or technical is a GitHub issue or discussion on a relevant repository, or LinkedIn messages if that fits the context.

If you are reaching out about something sensitive, use LinkedIn or another channel we already share rather than posting personal details in comments.
