Software Engineer | Systems & Infrastructure Enthusiast
I like understanding what happens beneath the abstractions.
From building distributed systems to getting my hands dirty with
memory, networking, and low-level programming.
I'm a software engineer who enjoys building things, breaking them, understanding why they broke, and occasionally rebuilding them properly.
Currently gravitating towards systems programming, computer networks, infrastructure, and Rust.
- Systems programming & operating systems
- Computer networks & distributed systems
- High-performance backend engineering
- Cloud infrastructure & system design
- Memory management, concurrency & async runtimes
- Exploring the intersection of AI and systems engineering
- sp-nlb — Building a Layer 3/4 Network Load Balancer in Rust. Exploring packet processing, ARP resolution, flow tracking, and TCP/UDP forwarding.
- Rust — Ownership, borrowing, lifetimes, async runtimes, and getting comfortable closer to the machine.
- Infrastructure — Distributed systems, cloud architecture, networking, and performance engineering.

Still learning. Still building. Still debugging. Probably forever.
