About

Hi, I’m Syed Aslam.

I am a software engineer focused on the long haul. I specialize in working with mature Ruby on Rails applications—refactoring legacy systems, debugging complex production issues, and making architecture decisions that stand the test of time.

While I work across the stack with JavaScript and Python, my heart is in the backend, optimizing databases and “choosing boring technology” that lets teams sleep at night.

This blog is my notebook for those decisions.

Let’s Connect

I enjoy connecting with engineers solving real-world problems. If you want to discuss Rails internals, system architecture, or just share a particularly gnarly bug you squashed, feel free to reach out.
