About Me
I'm an engineer who lives at the intersection of 'Does this scale?' and 'Does this rhyme?' Currently, I'm on a self-imposed 'level-up' quest to master the dark arts of data-intensive systems, though I still believe the most complex distributed system ever built is the human heart (or maybe just a really messy SQL join).
When I'm not architecting pipelines or obsessing over my lean terminal setup, you'll find me translating the universe's chaos into poetry or looking at the stars to see what the nakshatras have to say about my day.
I build systems that work and write words that breathe—all while trying to find the perfect balance between cosmic alignment and 99.9% uptime.
