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.

A small collection of things I've built across systems, infrastructure, and developer tooling.

Essays on engineering and life.

Books, papers, talks, and ideas worth spending time on.
