Summary
Ik N is a seasoned software engineer with 17 years of experience based in San Francisco, currently building at BUH after leading infrastructure efforts at Friartuck Finance. He blends hands-on engineering across startups and larger tech firms with a pragmatic focus on platform and infrastructure reliability, having helped shape teams and systems during periods of rapid company growth. Comfortable in ambiguous, early-stage settings, he’s held founding-team-style roles (and even a sticker club) while shipping production systems and developer-facing tooling. Known for a dry, candid voice and eclectic tastes—he can opine at length about burritos and burger orders—he brings steady technical judgment and a knack for making infrastructure work in the wild.
