About
I'm Taofeek, a software engineer who builds backend systems, APIs, and the infrastructure underneath them. I care about code that is fast, correct, and observable.
Lately I've been deep in production engineering: how the OS schedules processes, how threads behave under contention, what Linux exposes at the syscall level, and how to actually troubleshoot a system when something goes wrong in production.
I study Applied Physics, so quantum computing is a natural extension of what I'm already learning. I competed at iQuHACK 2026, built hybrid quantum-classical pipelines with CUDA-Q, and I'm working through algorithms, error models, and what near-term hardware can actually do.
Go, TypeScript, Python. Source code over documentation. First principles over frameworks.

Currently excited about
- →Production engineering — reliability, observability, and systems that hold under real load
- →Docker, containers, and the infrastructure layer
- →Systems design and distributed architecture at scale
- →Linux internals — how the kernel works, system calls, and what happens under the hood
- →Quantum algorithms and their applications on near-term hardware

LeetCode
I enjoy solving problems — it keeps algorithmic thinking sharp and is genuinely fun once you stop treating it as a chore.
