Now
A snapshot of what I am currently building, operating, and exploring.
1. Operating Bymond & BigBlueButton.Host
My primary operational focus continues to be Bymond Private Limited and our flagship virtual classroom platform, BigBlueButton.Host:
- Managing daily Linux cloud server infrastructure, coturn media relay nodes, and dedicated virtual classroom clusters for our educational clients.
- Hardening node isolation, refining zero-downtime maintenance procedures, and maintaining high uptime standards.
- Overseeing customer onboarding, quote-to-cash billing lifecycles, and technical account health.
2. Engineering & Systems Projects
When not handling customer operations, I am actively building:
- Fleet Observability: Refining our internal Prometheus and Grafana metrics cockpit to provide second-by-second visibility into UDP packet drops, coturn relay session allocations, and recording pipeline queues across our distributed Linux hosts.
- Recording Lifecycle Automation: Expanding our post-publish recording archival pipelines to support multi-cloud cold storage backends with automated verification checksums.
- Edge-First Web Architecture: Exploring modern static-first frameworks (like Astro) and Cloudflare serverless edge functions to deliver blazing fast, zero-maintenance digital web properties.
3. Advisory & Technical Due Diligence
I reserve dedicated weekly bandwidth to advise founders, business owners, and technical leads:
- Auditing existing BigBlueButton deployments, firewall configurations, and server sizing for schools and e-learning startups.
- Acting as a sounding board for early-stage founders navigating cloud infrastructure trade-offs and vendor proposals.
- Advocating for simple, maintainable architectures that prioritize reliability over resume-driven engineering.
4. Reading & Thinking
Currently reading and reflecting on:
- Production engineering and site reliability engineering (SRE) field post-mortems.
- Bootstrapped software economics, sustainable pricing models, and long-term customer retention.
- The enduring elegance of UNIX philosophy: small, composable tools, text streams, and predictable systems.
