Hello! I'm Kariuki George — a Software Developer & Site Reliability Engineer passionate about building high-performance, scalable systems and creating intuitive user experiences. I'm a Rust enthusiast currently working at Safaricom PLC, where I contribute to observability platforms using Rust, eBPF, and distributed systems technologies.
My current tools of work include Rust, Golang, and TypeScript. I enjoy working with modern web technologies, building scalable backend systems, and diving deep into Linux kernel programming. I also create educational content for developers, making complex concepts easier to understand through blog posts and tweets.
Beyond work, I love exploring new technologies and turning ideas into reality through personal projects. I'm particularly interested in distributed systems, observability, and developer tooling.
