Ali Essam
Software engineer. I work on infrastructure, distributed systems, and the glue code that makes production survive contact with reality.
This site is where I publish things — plain posts when I have something to say, MDX posts when I want to show something interactive, and standalone tools when I've built something worth sharing.
Dark mode only. No apologies.
