Hi, I'm Naveed — an open-source developer working on security research, fuzzing, and production-grade backend tooling.
I build and maintain libraries focused on reliability and correctness in real-world systems. One of my projects, SmartRetry, provides safe and production-ready retry logic for TypeScript applications — with exponential backoff, jitter, global timeouts, and AbortSignal support.
My work focuses on:
Identifying and responsibly reporting vulnerabilitie
Improving code safety and resilience
Maintaining well-tested, dependency-light infrastructure libraries
Long-term maintenance and documentation improvements
Open-source infrastructure often requires ongoing maintenance, bug triage, testing across environments, and careful API stability decisions — work that is rarely visible but critical for production users.
Sponsorship allows me to:
Dedicate consistent time to maintenance
Improve test coverage and edge-case handling
Prioritize reliability improvements
Respond quickly to bug reports and issues
If your team depends on secure and reliable open-source tooling, your support directly contributes to sustainable, high-quality maintenance.
