About

The name’s Ziflaj. Aldo Ziflaj. 🎶 Cue in the Bond music… 🎶

I got into computers in 2008, right around the time the financial crisis went off. Some say coincidences don’t exist. For legal reasons, I can neither confirm nor deny any involvement.

I’ve spent over a decade building systems that scale and fixing the ones that didn’t. I’ve led teams through the design, development, and maintenance of complex systems while keeping customer needs in focus. My experience spans the whole stack: infrastructure, backend, databases, reliability, and fire-fighting in production.

For fun and non-profit, I’ve built a version control system similar to Git (aziflaj/gogot), a database similar to Redis (aziflaj/caboose), and a programming language similar to JavaScript (aziflaj/PinguL).

My most recent side project is an Agentic Workflow tool for software engineering teams. The goal is to make complex engineering work more structured, automated, and repeatable. Whether that will boost productivity or make us all lose our jobs is an open research field. Time will tell, but my fingers are crossed for the latter.
