Hey, I'm Hariri 👋
Software engineer based in Seremban, Malaysia. I help businesses and indie founders turn messy problems into clean, maintainable software — from backend APIs to self-hosted infrastructure.
A bit about me
I've spent the last 6 years building backend systems, DevOps pipelines, and more recently AI-powered tools. I care about writing code that doesn't need explaining — readable, robust, and boring in the best possible way.
Outside of work I'm exploring self-hosted infrastructure, tinkering with AI agents, and occasionally pretending I'll start a side project and actually finish it.
What I can do for you
01
APIs, workers, and databases that handle real-world load without drama. I write them to last.
02
Containerise your app, set up CI/CD, and host it reliably on a VPS — without the cloud bill shock.
03
Connect LLMs to your product in a way that actually ships — agent tools, RAG pipelines, and API wrappers.
04
A fresh pair of eyes on your codebase, architecture decisions, or that bug that's been around too long.
Recent work
Self-hosted AI agent gateway with 19 MCP tools, running on a single Docker Compose stack. Health checks, auth, and routing — all out of the box.
RESTful API for a local SME to track stock across three warehouse locations. Includes webhook notifications and a simple admin dashboard.
Migrated a 12-person team from manual deploys to fully automated GitHub Actions pipelines. Deploy time dropped from 40 minutes to under 4.
Kind words
"Hariri is the kind of engineer you want on anything that actually matters. He ships clean work, communicates clearly, and doesn't disappear after handover."
— Ahmad Zulkifli, CTO at CloudBase Solutions
