About / 02

The stack changed.The curiosity didn't.

Nearly a decade building production software across the web stack—from Ruby on Rails and Elixir/Phoenix to JavaScript, TypeScript, and Node.js with Express and NestJS, as well as cloud systems. Now I’m going deeper into C++, systems programming, memory, concurrency, and AI/ML.

Beyond the stack / 01

I care about what happens below the feature.

I learned software by following problems across boundaries. A feature rarely ends at the interface: it continues through an API, a queue, a database, an operating system and the constraints of the machine running it.

That curiosity has taken me from Ruby, Ember and Phoenix to TypeScript, Node.js and cloud systems. Today I am deliberately moving closer to the machine—studying C++, memory, concurrency, Linux internals and the engineering trade-offs that make software predictable under load.

My ongoing M.Tech work in AI/ML adds another layer: the mathematics behind models, how data moves through a system and how intelligent features can be built without losing sight of reliability, cost or user value.

How I work

  1. 01

    Trace the whole system

    Understand the path from user action to bytes, processes and failure modes.

  2. 02

    Make trade-offs visible

    Prefer clear constraints, measurable behaviour and decisions another engineer can review.

  3. 03

    Learn by building

    Turn unfamiliar concepts into small systems, benchmarks, notes and repeatable experiments.

Human languages

Two fluent. Two unfolding.

Clear communication across teams—and curiosity beyond code.
