Building small software tools with Go and SQL. Exploring WebAssembly and software techniques for training AI models on CPUs.
OS installation and configuration, Linux setup, software troubleshooting, VM environments, and general computer support — getting systems running clean from the ground up.
Building an L7 HTTP load balancer in Go from scratch — covering round-robin and least-connections algorithms, health checks, and backend pool management. Architecture grounded in AWS ELB, NGINX, and HAProxy with a focus on cloud infrastructure and IaaS scalability patterns.
Building the load balancer was the easy part. Understanding why it worked — and what that revealed about how little I actually knew — was a different story entirely.
AI can write code — but it can't replace system-level thinking. Why skills in systems, memory, concurrency, and networking will matter most in the age of AI.
