Huzaifa Rasheed

Hey, I'm Huzaifa.

Engineer by trade, builder by instinct. I like owning my stack, shipping fast, and running on chai and a bit of stubbornness. Happiest between deep focus and fast feedback, solo or with a good team.

This site's my little corner of the internet - part portfolio, part lab - where I document what I build, break, or learn.

Reach out anytime - my digital door's always open. 👋

The Things We Own

On renting, ownership, leverage, and why I increasingly want to own more of the things that matter.

Debugging the Wi-Fi Crash That Froze My Homelab

A simple server freeze led me deep into Wi-Fi firmware quirks and kernel driver settings

Sometimes the blocker isn't in the code - it's in the backyard.

FFMpeg Web

An experimental browser-based terminal that runs FFmpeg using WebAssembly, enabling media processing directly in the browser.

Fabric browser extension

A Chrome extension that injects Fabric prompts directly into the ChatGPT for faster workflows.

Pure Cinema

Experimental text-to-video pipeline that stitches footage, synthesized voiceovers, and background music with Node.js. Not quite Hollywood, but it renders.

Languages & Frameworks

TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, Node.js, SQL

Frontend

React, Next.js, React Native - responsive interfaces, component architecture, state management, API integration, and modern web application development.

Backend & APIs

REST API design, auth, webhooks, background jobs, and third-party integrations - payments, real-time feeds, and wallet/blockchain providers.

Databases & Storage

PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis - schema design, indexing, query optimization, and migrations.

Cloud & Infrastructure

AWS (EC2, RDS, S3, CloudFront, Lambda), GCP, Linux, Docker - production deploys, networking, reverse proxies, VPNs, containerized services, and infrastructure automation.

DevOps & Tooling

Git, GitHub Actions, Nginx, Playwright, Jest - CI/CD, deployment automation, server management, and production troubleshooting.

Homelab

If I can run it myself, I'll probably spend three hours figuring out why I shouldn't.

Chess

Maybe I'm in a game right now - still figuring out the "middle game" patience.

Walks, games & plants

Long walks, FPS headshots (eventually… maybe), and plants I probably overwater.
