About Me
Hi! I'm Abrar Khan, a passionate engineer and Rust specialist with a love for building high-performance distributed systems and data platforms. My journey has taken me from architecting scalable solutions at ConverSight and CO2 Network, to developing programming languages and cloud tools at FifthTry, and building core infrastructure at Acko, Tapzo, and SAP Labs.
I thrive at the intersection of systems engineering and data, with deep experience in Rust, Apache Arrow, Parquet, DataFusion, and the modern cloud stack. My work spans everything from designing new programming languages for UI (FTD), to building static site generators (FastN), to crafting robust data pipelines and event-driven architectures with Kafka, PostgreSQL, and Redis.
I believe in the power of open source and collaborative problem-solving, and I enjoy sharing knowledge and mentoring others. Whether it's optimizing systems for performance, building developer tools, or enabling teams to ship reliable software, I bring a blend of technical depth and practical experience to every project.
When I'm not coding, you'll find me exploring new technologies, writing, or helping others learn and grow in the world of software engineering.
