Infrastructure and backend engineer with a low-level systems background. Last 3 years as the sole or one of very few infra engineers at early-stage startups - owning everything from VPC topology to CI/CD to on-call.Currently building cloud infrastructure for a GPU neocloud (H100/H200) from scratch. Before that, sole platform engineer at an autonomous driving research lab, and before that SRE at a YC-backed video comms startup (acquired by a major cloud provider) managing 20+ Kubernetes clusters across AWS and GCP.
On the systems side - wrote a custom Karpenter provider in Go for a cloud provider, a C++ initramfs to run Gentoo on bare-metal Android phones with Android userland in LXC (GSoC 2020), and ADAS software on Android using Cap'n Proto + ZeroMQ + LMDB serving 275+ vehicles.
Also wrote bin (github.com/wantguns/bin), a self-hostable pastebin in Rust with 300 stars. Outside of work I maintain a multi-continent server mesh across Hetzner, Oracle Cloud and bare-metal, all declared in a public Nix flake (source - https://github.com/wantguns/dotfiles, blogs -https://wantguns.dev/tags/yakshaving)
I'm a Serial YC Engineer who loves to solve complex problems in Systems / Infrastructure / Backend
Some of my previous works include:
- Building a Karpenter controller for a cloud provider
- Building a self-driving (ADAS) stack which can run on your Android phone
- Running Gentoo Linux on bare-metal Android phones, and running Android userland in a LXC container on the Gentoo userland

sorry for botching the explanation, i have never studied music.

Hacking my Android phone to drive my car
Thanks a lot for open-sourcing it.
I wait for the day, where I can finally get a good HN client at F-Droid :)
https://github.com/WantGuns/auto_meet
it does the bare minimum of:
- parsing calendar events (which have meet links)
- open zoom meets on lecture's starting time
- exit meet meets on lecture's ending time
- shutdown machine when all the meetings were over
my sleep schedule was f-ed up to say the least. these scripts helped me maintain my attendance :)Its a minimal blog I made in Zola (just cuz). I still have to implement caching on it, which should be enough to release the source.
what does hn think ?
