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.

Diagram showing QUIC packet flow with ACK frames and congestion window feedback loop.

Inside QUIC's Loss Recovery and Congestion Control Machinery in Production Deployures

A deep dive into the loss detection, ACK handling, and congestion control loops inside QUIC, with a focus on how they behave under real production traffic on HTTP/3 and gRPC.

Diagram of vLLM's PagedAttention KV cache allocator mapping logical blocks to physical GPU memory pages.

Optimizing vLLM's PagedAttention Allocator for High-Throughput Batched Inference

A working engineer’s guide to the internals of vLLM’s PagedAttention memory allocator, with concrete knobs, profile traces, and production patterns for squeezing more tokens per second out of a single GPU.

Stylized diagram of a columnar vector being processed by SIMD lanes.

Inside DuckDB's Vectorized Execution Engine: How Columnar Storage Meets SIMD-Aware Query Processing

How DuckDB combines a columnar in-memory layout with vectorized, SIMD-aware operators to deliver analytical query performance that rivals dedicated warehouses — and why the same ideas are reshaping mainstream engines like Velox and DataFusion.

Diagram of a continuous batching scheduler with paged KV cache blocks being shared across active sequences.

Build a Continuous Batching LLM Scheduler From Scratch

Ship a working continuous batching scheduler with paged KV cache and dynamic request interleaving. Real Python, runnable locally, and a roadmap from toy to production-flavored.

Annotated diagram of the Lua VM pipeline from source to bytecode execution.

Inside the Lua VM: How the Reference Implementation Compiles and Executes Bytecode

A walk through the reference Lua VM: lexing, parsing, code generation, and the register-based interpreter loop that makes Lua famously fast for a small footprint.
