Hall of Fame
From production infra at 200k-CCU scale to weekend hackathon wins, Mahfuz ships software that has to actually work — event-sourced systems, distributed backends, and open source people build on.
A ground-up recreation of Hypixel SkyBlock on Minecraft 1.21 — no Spigot, built on Minestom.
A maintained 1.8 fork of SlimeWorldManager for fast, compact world storage and async I/O.
A cleaner, modular recode of the core SkyBlock plugin — the foundation the current build grew from.
A blazingly-fast, multi-purpose Redis API built on Jedis — pub/sub, caching and messaging.
A blazingly-fast scripting language written from scratch in C++ for game logic.
A proof-of-concept for near-traceless DLL injection into the Minecraft process.
My personal portfolio at mahfuz.net — Next.js, React and a hand-rolled design system.
An AI code editor that wraps Claude Code and Codex into one native desktop app.
Join The Discord
I run a personal-development Discord where I post changelogs and devlogs for everything I'm building, drop early access and sneak peeks, and hang out with a genuinely helpful community of 8,000+ developers.
where i've
worked
I've shipped production software across four teams — from the largest Minecraft network on earth to Silicon-Valley-backed startups. Here's where it happened.
Lyra pairs forward-deployed engineers with Silicon-Valley founders. I embed directly with product teams and own features end-to-end — from the first whiteboard sketch through production deploys and on-call. In the room, in the codebase, shipping.
Always shipping the fix.
