Hey, I’m Aji! 👋

I am a self-taught Senior Software Engineer with over 10 years of experience specializing in backend architectures, high-concurrency distributed systems, and cloud deployments. Over the course of my career, I’ve had the opportunity to optimize core trading orderbooks handling 6 million concurrent transactions, architect real-time game servers for AAA studios with over 3 million daily active users, and launch complex SaaS platforms from ideation to production. I’m also currently tightening my academic foundations by pursuing an online degree in Information Systems.

When I step away from the compiler and my custom Totem split keyboard, I try to touch grass as much as possible. You can usually find me mountain trekking through trails, documenting my trekking adventures for my just-for-fun YouTube channel, or unwinding with a sketchbook and watercolor pens. I built this blog as my digital notebook to share what I learn as I build local-first applications, dive into backend engineering, and explore on non-tech related stuff. Grab a coffee and feel free to connect with me on GitHub or via Email!
