That Random Guy 👋

Speak

Software Engineer II at Softway - I build things, break things, and pretend it was "part of the plan."

This blog is my little internet notebook where I write about:

System Design, Backend Engineering, and AI Agents - basically anything that makes my brain go "wait… how does that work?"

No guru energy here. Just learning in public, sharing notes, and occasionally over-explaining stuff so future-me doesn't suffer.

If you like tech, chaos, and simple explanations — welcome.
