Now

Currently, I am busy with the following things.

C++, LLVM and Compilers

It’s been a long time since my compiler days, but I want to start flexing those muscles again, so I’m re-learning modern C++ programming and experimenting with LLVM again.

System Design

Currently brushing up on my system design and distributed systems skills.

Bootstrapping

In the style of Pieter Levels, I am trying to bootstrap a series of websites as an experiment in using minimal tech stacks and to experiment with using LLMs in my development process.
