I am currently a Software engineer at Entropy, while also doing my Computer science bachelors at King Saud University. I work on infrastructure, platform engineering, and DevOps during my day, so I befriended with Kubernetes, Docker & Networking —not this guy, I hate him. Other than that, I usually spend the rest of my time reading through RSS feeds learning what's new in AI & Agentic workloads.
My interests sit at the intersection of math and physics. In my free time, I do low level programming, hardware tinkering, and reverse engineering. Now, I spend a fair amount of time learning about radio signals and software defined radio (SDR). Sometimes, I read about philosophy, psychology, and if I was in the mood, mathematics.
Away from my screen, I cook bbq, do spars in bjj, shoot memorial videos, or read whatever is
interesting enough to pull me away from a shell .
Mainly made to create kernel modules from scratch blocks; it was for a presentation called "Kernel Modules From Scratch (literally)".
