About

I am a software engineer. Been exploring and building in the field for more than 2 years.

In software engineering, I love how scaled systems are quite simple and complicated at the same time. Every system targets for few simple things such as low latency, high throughput, cost optimisation, high uptime (say availability or reliability) and maintenance etc.

In current projects I have been incorporating my learning into the practice also.

Tech Interests

Currently, I am exploring the system design and CNCF landscape. I am learning about the transformer architecture and internal workings previously, for some time.

Generally, I read latest tech articles from Uber, Netflix, and Medium but Not limited.

Design Goals

When I was designing this website, My primary goal was keeping it with minimal navigation friction. Easy to hop on other pages and things without feeling laggy and sluggish.

I have kept the design simple and sweet without any cluttered UI or styles. Easy to render for browsers without having any load on servers keeping it static.
