About

Redowan Delowar

Hey there! I’m Redowan Delowar - also go by the handle “rednafi” on the web.

I dabble in platform engineering, which mostly means working with giant distributed balls of mud and fighting to keep the house of cards from falling over. Lately, I’ve been focused on persistence, resilience, and observability - or whatever else is currently on fire. When not at the keyboard, I’m probably running or reading sci-fi.

Talking points: Go, Python, persistence, consistency, resilience, HA, and sci-fi.

Curriculum vitae

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

Colophon

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.
