Starting Over With a Personal Site

After years of thinking about it, I finally have a personal site. Here's why and what I plan to do with it.

· 1 min read

This site has been on my to-do list for years.

I work at Cloudflare as a Customer Reliability Engineer. I spend my days diagnosing production incidents, coordinating technical responses for some of the world’s largest internet properties, and thinking about reliability at a scale most engineers never encounter. And yet I’ve never had a place to write about any of it.

That changes now.

What I’ll Write About

Mostly what I work on and think about:

  • Reliability engineering — SLOs, incident command, and post-mortems from a practitioner’s perspective
  • DDoS and network security — attack patterns, L3/L4/L7 defence, and how the threat landscape actually evolves

The Stack

Built with Astro and deployed on Cloudflare Pages — static, fast, and version-controlled.

Framework: Astro
Hosting:   Cloudflare Pages
Domain:    najeeb.uk

Why Now

The honest answer: the field moves fast enough that if I don’t write things down, I lose them. Some of what I’ve learned is genuinely hard-won — it deserves more than living in my head.

More soon.
