Jaseem Abid is a Site Reliability Engineer with 15 years building resilient, high-scale systems across startups and tier-one tech firms, currently at MongoDB after roles at Apple, Twitter, Monzo and several early-stage companies. He combines deep systems and networking expertise—maintaining DPDK-based load balancers and transparent IPSec encryption at Apple—with productionising ML systems and ANN search platforms at Twitter. Comfortable across infrastructure, platform engineering and CI/CD, he has shipped Kubernetes-backed platforms, Raft-based distributed stream processors and robust Jenkins/OpenShift pipelines. An active open-source contributor, he’s improved Rust tooling on Mozilla’s widely used cbindgen project and prefers Rust for systems work. Based in London, he’s curious about ML internals (reimplementing transformers) and deliberately avoids web3/crypto, making him a pragmatic engineer focused on dependable infrastructure rather than hype.
