back to the desk

a snapshot in time

What I'm doing now

Inspired by Derek Sivers' /now movement. This is what I'd tell a friend if they asked “so what are you up to these days?”

Building

  • Nexus Ledger

    high-throughput distributed payment gateway — distributed locks, idempotency keys, Kafka

  • This personal site

    the desk, the 3D table, all the little details

Learning

  • Coding Shuttle Cohort 5.0

    Spring Boot, Kafka, Kubernetes, Redis — going deep on the whole backend stack

  • DSA daily

    one problem every day, no excuses — graphs and DP are humbling

Reading

  • Meditations — Marcus Aurelius

    slow read, one journal entry per sitting

  • 1984 — George Orwell

    feels less like fiction every day

  • Animal Farm — George Orwell

    short but cuts deep

Creating

  • Drawing every day

    pen on paper — no screens, no undo button
