đź‘‹ Hello! I'm Intekhab Rizvi, a fullstack software engineer with 2 decades of experience.

I've been the architect behind scalable platforms that power enterprises. My journey is a blend of code, creativity, and continuous learning.

What I Do?

I help businesses build platforms that don’t crumble under pressure. Think scalable systems, secure infrastructure, and clean code with a long shelf life. Whether you're wrangling with cloud chaos or architecting from scratch, I bring clarity, structure, and just enough nerdy enthusiasm to make things run smoother, faster, and smarter. I speak fluent Linux, cloud, and caffeine.

Enterprise Platform Engineering

Designing and implementing robust platforms that scale with your business needs.

Cloud Solutions

Certified expertise in AWS to navigate your cloud journey seamlessly.

Security & Infrastructure

Ensuring your systems are secure, efficient, and resilient.

Open Source Contributions

Occational open source contributor to projects that make developers' lives easier.

Certifications

I collect certifications the way some people collect sneakers, except mine help keep production alive at 3AM.

Verify Certificates

From AWS to Azure to HashiCorp Vault and Terraform, I’ve got the badges (and the battle scars) to prove I know my way around complex systems and security. Yes, even the obscure ones. No, I don’t put them on a lanyard.

My Publications

I wrote a book so you don’t have to read 43 different blog posts and still be confused.

Credential Security

HashiCorp Vault for Beginners

this book is a no-fluff, practical guide to understanding Vault, built for engineers who’d rather be building than decoding documentation. If secrets management gives you anxiety, this book is your chill pill.

My Tech Stack

Not just tools I’ve worked with, these are the technologies I’ve taken to production, debugged at 2AM, and optimized for real-world scale.

Backend – Where the Logic Lives

I speak fluent backend across multiple ecosystems—whether it's scripting something light or building enterprise-grade platforms.

  • Languages: Go, PHP, Python, Node.js
  • Frameworks & Patterns: REST, Microservices, Monoliths (yes, still relevant)

Also experienced with LAMP and MEAN—because acronyms are cool and still get the job done.

Frontend – The Paint on the Walls

I don't just wire up APIs—I wireframe the experience.

  • HTML, CSS (hold the div soup)
  • JavaScript, jQuery (still useful, fight me)
  • Angular (because structure matters)

I make it functional first, pretty second, and fast always.

Databases – I Know Where the Data Lives

Relational, NoSQL, transactional, or eventually consistent—I’ve handled them all.

  • RDBMS: PostgreSQL, MySQL
  • NoSQL: MongoDB
  • Cache & Queue Sidekicks: Redis, Memcached, Beanstalkd

I design schemas that grow with your product—not against it.

Scripting – Automate All the Things

I like my servers quiet and my scripts chatty (only when something breaks).

  • Shell scripting – Cron-friendly, battle-tested, production-grade automation

Misc. Infrastructure – The Glue and the Grit

Infrastructure is invisible—until it isn’t. I build it right so you don’t have to think about it.

  • Web servers: Nginx, Apache
  • Message queues: RabbitMQ
  • Other essentials: Beanstalkd, Redis, Memcached

I engineer for scale, resilience, and sleep-through-the-night reliability.
