Diyaz Yakubov

Hello! I'm Diyaz.

Founder of busypipe · Engineer, advisor & mentor

Helsinki, Finland

I'm a founder and engineer who builds systems people actually use. Right now I'm building busypipe — a social intelligence platform that turns the noise of social media into signal creators and marketers can act on. Over 14+ years I've led the design and delivery of complex systems, from on-premise devices to cloud-native AI platforms — most recently building the production AI pipelines behind decisions at DISQO. This site is a window into my world — from technical deep-dives and home lab experiments to DIY projects and creative pursuits.

Beyond Code

When I'm not coding, you'll find me drawing and painting, working out at the gym, crafting things by hand, exploring architecture, or getting lost in a good book. I believe creativity flows between disciplines — the patience needed for a sketch is the same patience needed for debugging.
