About

Hi there!

Samss Jubair speaking at a session

Open to interesting software problems

I build backend systems in Go and the React frontends on top of them, then go teach a room full of students how to do the same thing :)

Right now I'm at Strativ, a Swedish software consultancy, working on Alent Cloud: an IoT platform that monitors and controls wood-drying kilns at 110+ sawmills. Alarms, reports, schemas, the operator console, a bit of everything.

Before that I owned infrastructure end to end at a marketplace startup, and spent two years building frontends remotely for a Finnish company, including a Photoshop-style image editor that runs in the browser.

On the side I teach React and Django at MBSTU, run frontend sessions for 360 Pathshala, and I'm finishing an MSc there with an AI focus, because apparently one full-time job wasn't enough.

Off the clock

When the laptop closes

Engineers are people too. Here is what I do when nothing is on fire.

  • Travelling

    New places, new food, zero deploys.

  • Gym

    The only place where I lift more than tickets.

  • Football

    Watching anything with a ball. Loudly.

  • Reading

    Books, not just docs. Most of the time.

  • PlayStation

    One more match. Then sleep. Probably.

  • Cooking

    Recipes are just specs with better outputs.

  • Gardening

    Slow builds, but zero merge conflicts.

  • Music

    Ex General Secretary of the campus band club.

Let's build
something.

Open to backend and full-stack roles, remote or relocation. Also happy to talk Go, IoT, or teaching. The fastest way to reach me is email, I answer all of them.

Right now, I'm...

  • Shipping Alent Cloud at Strativ
  • Teaching React and Django at MBSTU, and frontend at 360 Pathshala
  • Finishing an MSc with an AI focus

Sleep is scheduled for after the thesis.
