About

Just a tech enthusiast...

Hi, I'm Hayan, a recent computer engineering graduate with a degree that focused on hardware, embedded systems, and software development.

After graduation, I began working in infrastructure and IT systems, delving deep into Linux, cloud computing, and system administration. I quickly found my niche and became a Co-Founder of Nyrna an ERP consultancy, leveraging my expertise to streamline business operations. Additionally, I'm Co-Founder and CTO at Taskmasters a consulting firm, where I oversee technology strategies within the groups holdings.

I love Linux and the open source community, specially security and privacy-respecting software. You can find my dotfiles setup which I'm always tweaking to improve and master my toolkit. I also maintain a small homelab to enhance my system administration skills and host services for privacy and security reasons. Some of my open-source projects include Metallum API, Halaqh, and KAU Cryptography. In my free time, I enjoy sharing what I'v learned on my Blog as well.

Beyond tech, I'm a (cine-biblio-audio)phile, and into human physiology :)

Tech Stack

The tools I use for the job, depend on the job. There's no one-size fits all, and as such I'm always trying out new technologies, and constantly learning.

The following technologies ones I'm familiar with, linked are code I've written with each.
