About

I am a database engineer and systems architect focused on practical architecture decisions across open databases, cloud infrastructure, and AI-assisted engineering workflows.

Core Focus Areas

  • Open databases and vector database architecture for the next five years.
  • Cloud-native system design on AWS and Azure.
  • AI-enabled productivity systems for engineering teams.

How I Publish

  • Short notes (500-650 words): concrete lessons from current work and experiments.
  • Deep dives (1,800-2,200 words): architecture, tradeoffs, and implementation detail.
  • Every post includes diagrams and honest failure notes where relevant.
