About Kashif Aziz

I'm a software engineer with over 25 years of experience building systems that scale. My journey has taken me across industries, from sports analytics and healthcare platforms to oil & gas operations and enterprise software, each teaching me something new about the craft of building reliable, maintainable systems.

What drives me isn't just solving technical problems, but understanding the why behind them. Why does this architecture pattern work better than that one? Why does this team struggle with technical debt while another thrives?

This site is where I share those insights. Not just the technical patterns, but the thinking behind them: the trade-offs, the mistakes worth making, and the lessons that only come from years in the trenches.

Currently, I'm particularly interested in how GenAI is changing the way we build internal tools, prototype ideas, and think about developer productivity. I help teams navigate this new landscape, whether that's cleaning up AI-generated code, integrating LLMs into existing systems, or building MVPs that validate ideas quickly.
