Welcome to my corner of the internet. This website is a personal blog which I use as a platform to document my learning journey and showcase it for the world to see.
Hands‑On Guide: Gradient Accumulation, Mixed Precision & Cosine Warmup for a Stand‑Out CV Project
Learn how to combine gradient accumulation, mixed precision, and cosine warmup into a reproducible PyTorch training script that showcases production‑ready ML engineering skills.
Architecting Fault‑Tolerant Service Discovery with etcd and Raft: A Deep Dive into Leader Election
Learn how etcd implements Raft-based leader election and how to design resilient service discovery patterns for production systems.
Pure‑Python Product‑Quantized IVF Index for Fast ANN Search
A step‑by‑step guide to building a pure‑Python product‑quantized IVF index for fast approximate nearest‑neighbor search, complete with runnable code, benchmarks, and extension paths for production use.
Inside Apache Pulsar: Segment-Centric Architecture and Tiered Storage
Pulsar’s segment-based storage model decouples compute from storage, enabling tiered storage to offload cold data to cheap object stores without breaking consumer replay.
Building a Causal Self-Attention Block from Scratch in PyTorch
Implement a memory-efficient, causal attention mechanism with a custom KV cache in under 100 lines of pure PyTorch code.
