Hi, I’m Saif — I build web products
I build scalable frontend applications and lead engineering teams to deliver exceptional user experiences. Currently focused on modern web technologies and frontend architecture.
Currently Working On
A snapshot of open‑source and product work I’m actively contributing to.
StackRox
Red Hat / StackRox
Kubernetes‑native container security platform (the open source core of Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security).
My focus: Product and UI work across vulnerability management, compliance, and policy workflows — including risk surfacing, reporting, and CI/CD integrations.
ACS UI
Red Hat Insights
User interface for Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security within Red Hat Insights.
My focus: Created the working prototype and led cross‑team coordination (design, platform, product) to align requirements, unblock dependencies, and deliver the initial integration.
Backstage Community Plugins
Backstage
Ecosystem of plugins for Backstage, the open platform for building developer portals.
My focus: Mentored and oversaw a junior engineer's POC, then productionized it — refactoring for robustness, adding tests, and improving UX and reliability.
Core Values
A few principles that guide how I build, lead, and collaborate.
Clarity
Clarity
Communicate simply, define outcomes, and remove ambiguity so teams move fast in the same direction.
Momentum
Momentum
Bias for action and iteration. Ship small, learn quickly, and keep raising the bar.
Craftsmanship
Craftsmanship
Build with care and sustainability—reliable systems, readable code, and thoughtful UX.
Ownership
Ownership
Own the problem end‑to‑end. See around corners, align stakeholders, and deliver results.
Kindness
Kindness
Assume positive intent. Give actionable feedback and create space for others to do their best work.
