Tublian
AI Dev·Columbus, Ohio·July 2024 – Dec 2024
What they do
- Tublian is a developer platform, with TublianOS as the product and an open-source collaboration programme around it. I came back to it in a second, more engineering-focused stint.
The work
- This was infrastructure work rather than product work. I set up the Docker-based build and deployment workflows, and added code obfuscation so the source was protected before public deployment.
- The rest was TublianOS itself, working on performance and the parts of the experience users actually touch.
- The most useful thing I took away was not shipped code. It was a system design masterclass that used Google's search architecture as its worked example, which is the first time I properly understood what a system looks like when it is designed for a scale you cannot hold in your head.
