$ echo "Hello, world!"Passionate about computer systems and open source 🔧 🎧
Love logical problems, autodidact (self-taught 🧐), and curious by nature ➿
Maintainer of Valkey-Glide and contributor to the Valkey ecosystem 🔐
Software Engineer — AWS ElastiCache
Beyond my work on Valkey and Glide, I’m investing in kernel programming (C & Rust) through a structured set of learning sprints. The focus is a kernel-accelerated data/Vector-Search engine, with performance optimization using ARM NEON SIMD.
Key areas of exploration
- Core memory management (allocators, memory pressure handling, slab/ring-buffer designs)
- Storage structures (hash indexing, B-tree variants, fixed-size embeddings)
- System interface (character device
/dev/vsswith IOCTL for user-space integration) - Performance optimization (SIMD-accelerated distance/similarity ops on ARM)
- Rust user-space client to interact with the kernel device
This is exploration and prototyping work — reflecting a long-term interest in combining databases, optimization, and kernel-level programming.
