Hi, I’m Vahid — a senior backend engineer and AWS-certified solutions architect who likes building distributed systems and taking them apart to see how they fail.
This is my corner of the internet: a place to keep notes on the things I build and break. Expect occasional write-ups on cloud cost engineering, Kubernetes, and the home-network security experiments I tinker with on weekends.
Want the longer version of who I am? Head over to the About page.
