❯ What I Write About

  • Distributed Systems - Consistency models, consensus algorithms, system design
  • Databases - Storage engines, query optimization, write amplification
  • Machine Learning Infrastructure - ML platforms, model serving, feature stores
  • Paper Reviews - Breaking down seminal research papers (#50PaperChallenge)

❯ Current Projects

This blog is built with pure HTML/CSS/JavaScript - no frameworks, no build step, no npm dependencies. Just open index.html and it works.

The terminal aesthetic is intentional - a nod to the command-line tools and systems programming that inspire much of the content here.
