Living in Delhi, working at 1buy.ai on the backend of an AI-powered procurement platform.
Working on
- The order-fulfilment backend: purchase orders through shipment and customs on FastAPI, PostgreSQL and Kafka.
- Keeping a Rust job scheduler and a Rust-to-WebAssembly formula crate healthy in production.
Learning
- PostgreSQL internals, eight-week course, currently in the first phase.
- Kafka from first principles, in Rust.
Reading
- PostgreSQL 14 Internals by Egor Rogov.
- The Internals of PostgreSQL by Hironobu Suzuki.
Thinking about
- How much of "distributed systems knowledge" is really just knowing what a failure looks like from the outside.
