Hello, I’m Taha
Software engineer working across distributed systems, performance, and infrastructure—from auto-sharding control planes to hardware counters.
I work at the intersection of distributed systems, performance engineering, and low-level tooling. I’ve built auto-sharding control planes, optimized real-time ML inference, and brought memory profiling into CI/CD pipelines.
With a background in computer science and applied mathematics and an MSc focused on parallel and distributed systems, I care about performance you can measure and infrastructure other engineers can trust.

Systems projects built to explore isolation, scale, language design, and the hardware underneath it all.
Hardware performance monitoring
Contributed to adapting in-VM PMU usage for performance monitoring in INRIA’s Volimem project, investigating counter access, measurement accuracy, virtualization overhead, and isolation.
Competitive programming platform
A scalable contest judging platform with a central Go dispatcher, language-specific workers, and sandboxed execution with strict time and memory limits.
Programming language implementation
A Go interpreter with a lexer, Pratt parser, AST evaluation, scoped runtime environments, built-in functions, and structured syntax and runtime errors.
