hi, I am Vivek
I'm a software engineer interested in databases, systems programming, computer networking, and mathematical thinking.
Over the last 3+ years, I've worked across startups and consulting, building application-layer software and backend systems.
More recently, I've been working deeper down the stack: contributing to open-source databases, experimenting with PostgreSQL and Linux internals, and writing a lot of Rust.
