I write about system design, databases, and engineering challenges on Medium. Check out some of my articles:
- What Migrating a Client from AWS to GCP Taught Me About PostgreSQL's Most Underrated Feature — A deep dive into PostgreSQL Write-Ahead Logging (WAL) and its critical role during cloud migrations.
- Making Your Database Run 15+ Complex SQL Joins Just to Show a User a Sneaker Price — Discussing read-write optimization patterns, CQRS, and avoiding database bottleneck overhead.
- We Need Megazord Power! A Developer's Guide to Idempotency — A guide on how to design idempotent APIs and ensure retry safety across distributed systems.
For developers looking to learn or experiment, I've designed a lightweight local playground. You can spin up a complete backend infrastructure stack locally in seconds:
docker compose up -d- 🐘 PostgreSQL — Primary relational database sandbox.
- ⚡ Redis — High-speed cache and key-value store.
- 🔍 Pgweb & Redis Commander — Web dashboards to query and manage your databases in real-time.
- 🥇 Hackathons: 3x First Prize, 2x Second Prize winner.
- 🏅 Smart India Hackathon: Top 7 National Finalist.
- 🛡️ Cybersecurity: Multiple podium finishes in CTF competitions.
