Real-time systems, retrieval pipelines, and the tests that keep them honest.
Currently building a C++ matching engine and reading too much about consensus.
Backend depth,
shipped end to end.
I build systems where correctness is measurable — pipelines that don't drop rows, editors that don't lose keystrokes, models built on data you can audit. Most of what I make starts as a question I want answered myself.

How does OT actually resolve two edits landing at once? How does a matching engine stay fast under load? I tend to build the thing rather than read about it.
At Bluestock Fintech I built the ETL and ratio engine behind a Nifty 100 platform, and the test suite that kept it honest.

Currently learning
Going deeper on how systems behave when they scale horizontally — consensus, partitioning, and the failure modes that only show up under real load.
Distributed systems
Raft, quorums, partition tolerance
Rust
ownership, zero-cost abstractions
Kubernetes
operators and self-healing deploys
System design
trade-offs under real constraints
Fun fact
I once wrote a Tic-Tac-Toe engine that is mathematically unbeatable — NegaMax with alpha-beta pruning, solved to a Nash equilibrium. It has never lost.

Receipts
Pulled live from GitHub and LeetCode. Cached server-side, so a flaky upstream degrades the card and not the page.
