Basil Yusuf

is a software engineer,
researcher, and
reader.

I am deeply passionate about distributed systems, infrastructure and container orchestration.

What truly amazes me is how things break in often unpredictable ways as systems scale. It's like watching a high-stakes game of Jenga played out in code and infrastructure. Each optimization, each new layer of complexity, adds both power and fragility. I'm obsessed with finding that sweet spot where performance, reliability, and maintainability converge, always pushing the envelope of what's possible in large-scale distributed computing. If you share the same level of passion as me, feel free to reach out to me on X.

Previously, I worked at Deloitte, Amazon, TD Bank, and Interac. I’ve also independently published things in the past, like an article on docker, and low-level networking for research. Additionally, I have also won three hackathons.

I recently graduated from University of Guelph, where I was a Research Associate on Open Source Skill-based Matchmaking Architecture (SBMM) and a Teaching Assistant for Object-oriented Programming (CIS*2430).

Other interests: russian philosophy, islamic theology, geopolitics, history.
