Hello, I'm
A Claude Code companion that pauses your side activity and snaps tmux focus back the moment an agent needs you. Built as a Go IPC daemon + TypeScript monorepo (SDK, plugin, activities) talking over a peer-credentialed Unix domain socket.
Engineer by trade, bridge-builder by nature — I design secure, scalable platforms and help global tech thrive in the Chinese cloud. Off the clock, you'll find me watching football, probably yelling at the screen like it's a code review :)

I had the pleasure of working with Ali Farooqi, and I found him to be an excellent problem solver with a strong engineering mindset. Whenever he works on a problem, he doesn’t just look for a quick solution; he considers the bigger picture, including security, availability, scalability, maintainability, and the best way to build the application. Ali is also energetic and always willing to explore and adopt new frameworks, technologies, and better approaches. What I particularly appreciate is that he is a collaborative team player who is always ready to support others and contribute toward achieving the team's goals. It was a great experience working with him.
