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.
These days, I find myself going deeper down the systems rabbit hole while writing Rust, dealing with layers that sit close to the machine.
Philosophy: Low-level systems. High-level curiosity.
projects
A small collection of things I've built across systems, infrastructure, and developer tooling.
writing
Essays on systems programming, databases, networking, and software engineering.
deepcuts
Books, papers, talks, and ideas worth spending time on.
