A small corner of the internet / Mumbai, India
I make things for the web, get attached to good questions, and keep notes on whatever is holding my attention.
What I’m into lately01 / things I made
Not a trophy shelf. Just some experiments, useful problems, and the occasional detour that taught me something.
01 / A rebuild with better rhythm
A music project that began as a college monolith, then earned a second life as a modular app with clearer state and secure authentication.
The satisfying part: untangling the original structure without losing its energy.
02 / One door, many apps
A centralized authentication service for the unglamorous but important work of letting people in safely and keeping sessions sensible.
JWTs, refresh flows, OTP verification, Google OAuth, and a lot of respect for edge cases.
03 / Small links, serious plumbing
A serverless URL shortener that turns an everyday interaction into a dependable little service, complete with analytics and custom codes.
Built to stay lightweight at the surface and scalable underneath.
04 / Finding a place to park
A mobile parking-reservation app exploring booking flows, real-time data, and the friction of a very physical problem.
A good reminder that product work starts with someone trying to get somewhere.
05 / Practice, with feedback
An AI mock-interview space with voice and webcam input, role-specific questions, and room to reflect after every answer.
The experiment: make interview practice feel more like rehearsal than a test.
01 / lately
A small, right-now list of whatever I’m listening to, learning, reading, or building.
something on repeat this week
the book currently living on my desk
cloud systems, one useful rabbit hole at a time
small tools with unusually specific jobs
A living list — it changes whenever the week does.
03 / a little context
I’m Najaf. I spend my working hours writing software at Kyndryl Solutions, but this isn’t really a work profile. It’s a small record of the things I’m making, learning, and returning to.
I like the satisfying bits: a clean API, a well-named folder, a film recommendation that sticks, and the moment a loose idea becomes useful to someone else.
At the moment I’m wandering through cloud-native systems, AI-assisted products, and the small choices that make digital things feel calmer and clearer.
