Hi, I'm Bassim Beshry

About Me

My name is Bassim Beshry and I’m a Computer Science graduate from UBC with a strong passion for networking and infrastructure engineering. I enjoy working close to the systems configuring and troubleshooting networks that are reliable, secure, and scalable. I value clean configurations, strong fundamentals, and automation where it meaningfully improves reliability and operational clarity.

My interest in networking took shape during my time in the Aerial Robotics club, where I spent two years working on distributed and autonomous systems. Through this experience, I gained exposure to computer vision pipelines, inter-process communication, and networked systems using tools like Docker and ZeroMQ. These projects emphasized the importance of low-latency communication, fault tolerance, and observability in real-world systems.

After graduating, I expanded this interest through homelabbing, where I actively design and manage networked environments involving routing, monitoring, and containerized services. Exploring cloud platforms further strengthened my understanding of hybrid networking concepts such as VPCs, serverless architecture, and infrastructure segmentation. I’m motivated by roles that allow me to build and maintain resilient network infrastructure, support on-prem and cloud integrations, and contribute to systems that improve performance, security, and operational efficiency.

Outside of work, I enjoy lane swimming, sim racing, and videogames with expansive worlds and complex narratives. My favorite book is The Sound of Waves by Yukio Mishima, and my favorite games include Destiny 2, the Nier series, Final Fantasy 14 and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.
