Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolShaan Nobee is a Distributed Systems Engineer with 10 years of experience focused on low-level programming, algorithms, and resilient storage systems. He has been a core contributor to KurrentDB (formerly EventStoreDB), fixing hundreds of subtle bugs, race conditions, and critical issues across storage, replication, consensus, and indexing while adding performance-oriented data structures like bloom filters. Shaan built features around security and data hygiene—TLS/X.509 authentication plugins, AES-256-GCM encryption-at-rest, and an event redaction tool—demonstrating a pragmatic blend of systems design and security engineering. Earlier roles at Mauritius Telecom saw him deploy big-data platforms (Hadoop, Spark, Elasticsearch) and deliver production services for telecom and civic use cases. Curious by nature and skilled at reverse engineering network protocols and concurrency bugs, he thrives on tracking down hard-to-reproduce faults and turning them into robust, maintainable solutions.
