I'm a programmer. I build stuff

Software engineer with a focus on the backend, automation, and infrastructure. And a keen spirit for writing code for humans & machines.

My primary tech stack includes Go, PHP, Docker, Kubernetes, Linux. Experienced with different cloud providers as well. I get the basic cloud thing. Also built some tools and services with Rust too. And it has became a new favorite. Prefer working on the low level stuff that is close to the processor and hardware.

Working as a Software Engineer at DigitalOcean, part of the team building the cloud for this world.

Sometimes I like to tinker with different tools, trying to build different things. Here I'm trying to implement TCP stack. And here, trying to build my own Kernel. Doesn't work though! But I got to learn some things.

I often write about my experiences and share my thoughts on kinda `low level` and `systems programming`, and life and tech in general.
