Built by an engineer, not a sales team.
"I started Shobi Builds because I kept seeing the same problem: companies shipping software that worked in demos but collapsed in production. The safety rails come first — circuit breakers, retries, graceful shutdowns, observability. Then the features."
I'm Shoaib Hussain, a Python and cloud infrastructure engineer. I've spent years building async-first backend systems that handle real-world failure modes. Every project I take on gets the same treatment: production-grade code, enterprise observability, and a direct line to me — not a support ticket queue.

Services
What we engineer
Focused, senior-level expertise across the modern cloud stack. Every engagement is a production system — not a prototype.
Cloud Infrastructure
Production Docker deployments, Nginx reverse proxies, PostgreSQL tuning, and Redis caching — designed for $6/month servers that outperform $600/month VMs.
Docker · Nginx · PostgreSQLAPI Integrations
WhatsApp Business API, Meta Cloud, Stripe, and custom webhook middleware. Built with retry logic, circuit breakers, and idempotency by default.
Meta · Stripe · WebhooksObservability
Prometheus metrics, structured JSON logging, health checks, and alerting pipelines. You'll know about issues before your users do.
Prometheus · Grafana · JSON logsSecurity & Auth
HMAC verification, API key rotation, rate limiting, and zero-trust patterns. Designed for enterprise procurement reviews.
HMAC · OAuth · Rate limitsCost Optimization
Message compression, request batching, and infrastructure right-sizing. We've cut cloud bills by 40–75% without sacrificing reliability or latency.

What clients say
Specific outcomes from real engagements. Names withheld where NDAs apply.
75% reduction in message volume
"Our AI chatbot was sending 5 fragmented replies per user question. Shobi Builds' middleware compressed them into 1. Our Meta API bill dropped by 75% in the first month."
99.97% uptime over 6 months
"We'd been running our FastAPI service on a $40/month VPS that kept falling over. Shobi Builds rebuilt it on a $6 Hetzner box with better monitoring and zero downtime since."
<50ms p99 latency
"The async architecture Shobi Builds implemented handles our peak traffic — 30,000 requests per minute — without breaking a sweat. Our previous stack buckled at 5,000."
Capabilities
Built like production.
Because it is.
Every system we ship is designed for the failure modes most teams discover after launch. We build the safety rails first — then the features.
- Circuit breakers, exponential backoff, and idempotency by default
- Graceful shutdowns — zero dropped messages during deployments
- Full audit logging to PostgreSQL for compliance and billing
- Health checks, heartbeats, and Prometheus metrics out of the box
- Docker Compose and CI-ready configurations for every deploy
- Type-annotated code, mypy --strict clean, 100% test coverage on critical paths

Process
How we work
A tight, transparent workflow from kickoff to production. No surprises, no scope creep, no ghosting.
01 / DISCOVERY
Scope & architecture
A 30-minute call to map your requirements, constraints, and success metrics. We produce a written plan before writing any code.
02 / BUILD
Engineer & test
Production code shipped to a staging environment with full observability. You review and approve before anything touches production.
03 / DEPLOY
Launch with confidence
Zero-downtime rollout, load testing, and monitoring wired up before go-live. Rollback plan documented for every deployment.
04 / SUPPORT
Ongoing operations
Monthly reports, incident response, and continuous optimization. You get a senior engineer on call, not a ticket queue.
