Building network automation tools using Python — scripting network operations, infrastructure tooling, protocol analysis, and Linux-based network management. Automation first. Understand the system underneath.
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.
