Noor Haddad

Berlin, DEOpen to staff & principal roles

I build systems that stay simple as they scale. The interesting work is in the constraints, not the features.

cat about.md

I came up through backend and never lost the taste for the layer no user sees. Good infrastructure is invisible, until the day it is the only thing anyone talks about.

  1. [2024 - present]

    Cell-based architecture migration

    A year-long migration that isolated failure domains and halved incident blast radius.

  2. [2022 - 2024]

    Internal build platform

    CI/CD and observability stack adopted across forty services.

  3. [2021]

    Cost program

    31 percent cloud cost reduction through right-sizing and chargeback.

  1. [01]

    Migration to a cell-based architecture

    Platform

    Led a year-long migration that isolated failure domains and halved incident blast radius.

    → 50% smaller blast radius

  2. [02]

    An internal build platform

    Developer experience

    Designed the CI/CD and observability stack adopted across forty services.

    → 40+ services

  3. [03]

    Cost program

    Reliability

    Cut cloud spend through right-sizing and a chargeback model engineers actually used.

    → 31% cost reduction

history | grep ask

ask "What does Noor work on?"

Platform and infrastructure: distributed systems, reliability, and the developer experience around them. The layer no user sees.

ask "What has the impact looked like?"

A cell-based architecture migration that halved incident blast radius, an internal build platform adopted by forty services, and a 31 percent cloud cost reduction.

ask "What roles is Noor open to?"

Staff and principal engineering roles.

Simplicity is a budget

Every abstraction you add is borrowed against the next person who has to understand it. Spend carefully.
