About me
Hi, I'm Mohibul Alam.
Software Engineer II (SRE) at Optimizely, based in Dhaka, Bangladesh.
I work on reliable cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes platforms, and automation across AWS, GCP, and Azure. My experience also includes building LLM applications, RAG systems, and AI agents, and I am a teaching assistant for the Distributed Systems course at the Institute of Information Technology (IIT), University of Dhaka.
Why this site
I keep notes on every course I take so the ideas don't fade once the course ends. Each course gets an overview page, and each lecture gets its own page with the main ideas, key terms, takeaways and exercises — written in my own words.
This site brings together my course notes and Distributed Systems teaching materials, connecting the concepts with practical work in cloud infrastructure, microservices, and reliability.
