I'm Akbar.
Software engineer, system designer, and writer focusing on distributed cloud systems, modern web architecture, and AI-driven products.
Background & Philosophy
I created this publication to document production-grade engineering principles, explore cloud infrastructure architectures, and dissect emerging software paradigms. Over the years, I've designed and scaled mission-critical backend APIs, real-time payment settlement systems, and developer platforms.
I believe that the best software balances rigorous distributed systems logic with quiet, unobtrusive user interfaces. Good code should read like well-crafted prose, and user experiences should feel smooth, tactile, and natural.
Primary Focus Areas
Distributed Systems & Cloud
Building resilient backends, event-driven pipelines, database telemetry, and edge-native serverless functions.
AI & Agentic Workflows
Architecting pragmatic LLM orchestrations, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and high-throughput evaluation tools.
Product & Liquid Interfaces
Engineering polished, tactile web applications using fluid glassmorphic design, micro-interactions, and accessible typography.
