Gdynia, Poland

Ahoy, fellow travelers! I’m Redowan Delowar, also go by “rednafi” on most platforms.

I dabble in software and work at the intersection of infrastructure, databases, and observability. I care deeply about API ergonomics and contract stability, especially as teams and services scale independently. I also help teams design their data architecture, plan for capacity, and ensure observability signals flow reliably at scale.

Recurring themes: Go, Python, distributed systems, schema-driven development, eventual consistency, resilience patterns, high availability, data access strategies, observability, SRE practices, and sci-fi.

Curriculum vitae

For the paper trail inclined, here’s my CV.

Hugo powers this blog. It’s rocking the Papermod theme with some handrolled CSS flair. I write in plain Markdown and push the content to GitHub, triggering the GitHub Actions CI, which then deploys the site to GitHub Pages.

More on the stack, deployment, and writing process if you’re curious.

  • The handle “rednafi” is just a portmanteau of my first name, Redowan, and my nickname Nafi, which my parents and a few close friends still use.
  • I like sci-fis, and my all-time favourite book is Stanislaw Lem’s Solaris.
  • I think through writing and not the other way around. Most of the blogs on this site take way longer to write than I’d like to admit.
