I keep being wrong about how things fail.
I'm Adarsh Mishra, a Staff Software Engineer at Qube Cinema. My work sits between machines I will never physically touch and the cloud services trying to talk to them: agents, durable workflows, safe updates, recovery, and the tooling that answers “what is that fleet actually doing right now?”
Earlier at Qube, as a Software Development Engineer and Technical Specialist, I built the software inside cinemas — playback systems, GPU rendering pipelines, GStreamer components, secure logging, and safer interfaces around native libraries older than my career. That work remains the foundation of my systems thinking, but it is not being presented as Staff-era work.
Go, Rust, C++, Linux, Kubernetes, and a fleet of coding agents I supervise closely. But the languages are the least durable part. What lasts is architectural: clear contracts, failure you can actually see, and recovery that doesn't depend on someone clever being awake.

Uptime
Best effort
One engineer, several layers
What I work across
Languages
Rust and C++ for the systems that must not fall over. Go for the distributed layer. Java and Python when they are the right answer.
Media & graphics
GStreamer, wgpu, GPU rendering, encrypted pipelines, secure playback, DCP — and DCI/SMPTE specifications I can quote at parties.
Architecture
Microservices, distributed systems, and owning both the low-level and high-level design rather than only one of them.
Data & messaging
SQL and NoSQL, Kafka for streams, Redis for the things that should not be recomputed.
Cloud & systems
AWS, Azure, GCP, Linux, CI/CD, and a disproportionate amount of time in profilers and debuggers.
AI workflows
Coding agents, reusable skills, and the verification loops that stop them being confidently wrong.
Background
Qube Cinema
Remote
Current Staff scope: distributed agents, safe updates, recovery, and observability. Earlier Software Engineer / Technical Specialist scope: Rust playback, wgpu rendering, encrypted GStreamer pipelines, native bindings, and secure logging.
