Hello, World — Welcome to My Blog

A short intro to this blog: what I'll write about, who I am, and what to expect.

Hi — I'm Hassan, an AI and full-stack engineer based in Islamabad. I'm Principal Engineer at Coblack, and I work mostly with Next.js, FastAPI, and LLM/RAG systems.

What I'll write about

Mostly things I wish I'd had when I was figuring them out:

  • Building RAG pipelines with FastAPI, LlamaIndex, and Elasticsearch
  • Real-world Next.js 14 patterns (App Router, RSC, MDX)
  • Async ingestion with Celery + Redis
  • Solidity smart contracts and the off-chain plumbing around them
  • Notes from shipping AI features that actually get used

Code blocks work

export function greet(name: string) {
  return `hello, ${name}`;
}

Lists work

  1. Frontmatter drives metadata + JSON-LD.
  2. Each post gets its own dynamic OG image.
  3. RSS lives at /feed.xml.

If any of this is useful to you, reach out — I'm available for freelance and contract work.
