I'm Razi, a backend-focused developer from Kerala, India. I like turning ambitious ideas into dependable software: APIs that stay understandable, bots that stay online, and developer tools that remove repetitive work.
My main project is Nazha, a Lavalink-powered Discord music platform. I also lead Techlyn Developments, my developer studio and community for building, learning, and collaborating on useful technology.
backend engineering -> APIs, services, data, automation
product mindset -> useful features over empty complexity
current direction -> Java, Rust, systems, applied security
| Area | What that looks like |
|---|---|
| Discord infrastructure | Music, moderation, monitoring, slash commands, and resilient event-driven services |
| Backend systems | REST/GraphQL APIs, authentication, service boundaries, queues, and data models |
| Developer tooling | Small utilities that make setup, testing, and prototyping faster |
| Techlyn Developments | A developer studio and community for mentoring, collaboration, backend tooling, and practical open-source experiments |
Audio playback, queues, filters, and server controls built around Lavalink. The project is designed for real communities, so reliability, clear UX, and maintainable service boundaries matter as much as features.
An alerting and observability bot for Discord communities. It tracks important events and activity, then turns them into useful, real-time signals.
Lightweight tooling for generating MongoDB schemas and seed data during backend prototyping. Small, focused, and built to save a few minutes every time a new experiment starts.
I'm strongest in Node.js/TypeScript backend work and database-driven applications. Java with Spring Boot and Rust are the next two areas I'm deliberately investing in, alongside security fundamentals and systems thinking.
01 Make the common path obvious.
02 Measure reliability before adding complexity.
03 Keep interfaces boring, explicit, and documented.
04 Build small tools that compound over time.
05 Leave every codebase easier to understand than I found it.
