Mina Beshay
Staff software engineer.
I work at the intersection of software architecture and resilience engineering — designing distributed backend systems with queues, event streams, and data that has to survive migrations. Most of the last decade has been Kafka, Postgres, and the unglamorous work of making services reliable and performant at scale.
Currently I'm at Vizion, in a leading role building a cutting-edge ocean and air freight visibility app. The work spans designing and speccing systems, building and operating web crawlers, reverse-engineering carrier systems, and iterating closely with customers — turning the messy raw data of global logistics into something reliable and queryable.
I care about code other engineers enjoy working in: clear boundaries, honest abstractions, and systems you can reason about at 3 a.m.
Lately I'm especially focused on AI — how LLMs and agentic tooling change the shape of software engineering, and where they belong in production systems.
