I enjoy learning about low-level systems software, databases, runtimes, and developer tools.
Currently focused on:
- 🕸️ Building databases and storage engines
- ⚡ Exploring WALs, buffer pools, query systems, and file formats
- 🧠 Learning systems programming, database internals, and runtime design
- 🛠️ Building backend infrastructure in Go, Rust, and Odin
- Database internals
- Storage engines
- Operating systems
- Memory management
- Distributed systems
- Graph databases
- Runtime design
- High-performance backend engineering
I write deep dives about building databases and storage engines from scratch on Devtales
Topics include but not limited to:
- File formats
- WAL design
- Graph traversal
- Page storage
- Buffer pools
- Query systems
- Odin
- Rust
- Go
- Lua
- C
- PostgreSQL
- Linux/macOS systems programming
“Every database is ultimately a file.”
