Byzantine nodes in the wild
Sharded Tendermint into a hierarchy to dodge the O(n²) tax: 15× fewer messages, 4.5× more throughput at N=1000, at the cost of 62 fault bounds instead of one.
Hi, I'm Mohd, a cloud infrastructure engineer specializing in AWS architecture and DevOps automation.
I work on designing and operating cloud infrastructure at scale, with a background spanning container orchestration, CI/CD pipelines, and cost optimization.
Day to day I'm at Jet1, where we run deploys, AWS, and on-call for startups that never got around to hiring a DevOps team.
Away from a terminal I'm a runner and a freediver.
Experiments
Raft breaks in predictable ways
Broke a 5-node Raft cluster: flapping partitions tax availability, a starved leader times out, and an isolated leader's fork gets erased on heal.
