About Me
👋👋, Wrold.
I am an immigrant originally from Bangladesh; my family moved to the US in the mid 90s when I was 5 years old. As a Queens native, I have had the good fortune to attend and graduate from two top tier academic institutions in NYC: Stuyvesant High School and the Cooper Union.
Currently, I am the Director of Core Platform Software at Peloton; I am lucky and fortunate to work with an amazing team of engineers owning and operating the core kubernetes infrastructure that all of our prod / lower env services run on. We also maintain and operate microservice enabling functionality (like an API Gateway + Service Mesh), promote Peloton’s SRE + infra sec practice, own the org’s infrastructure as code software (built on top of terraform) and ensure the API Monolith (which is where most of our backend software lives) is stable and functional.
In the recent past, I also moonlighted as an adjunct professor at Baruch University and as an instructor at General Assembly. (I have since scaled back my activities to focus on building the best possible team experience I can at PTON).
I’ve posted on and off on platforms such as Medium and Dev.to in the past - this blog is an exercise in asserting better ownership of my content (mainly for the purpose of retaining long term access).
I will typically write about topics I find interesting and/or esoteric bugs I’ve discovered while building something. I strongly value feedback and would very much appreciate any constructive criticism you might have about my content. Feel free to get in touch on Twitter or Linkedin (links available on main menu).
Thanks for stopping by, fam.
