Yousaf Khan
I'm a platform engineer who likes making systems faster, cheaper, and easier to ship. I build the infrastructure, tooling, and CI/CD pipelines that let engineering teams move quickly and reliably, without having to think about what runs underneath.
Before this, I spent several years as a cloud architect and senior backend engineer, building and scaling a SaaS platform end to end, from infrastructure and deployment to the backend services behind it. In my spare time, I enjoy 3D printing and working on weekend projects.
I'm always happy to chat about platform engineering, cloud, or side projects.
Education
I studied Computer Science and Applied Math at Elon University. I graduated summa cum laude and was awarded the Computer Science Academic Achievement Award.
Recipient of the Odyssey Scholarship and Bill Gates Millenium Scholarship.
