The stack I reach for
A backend-leaning, full-stack toolkit built over six years of shipping — plus where I'm deliberately going deeper.
Currently going deep
turning an AI user into an AI builder

- Machine learning & deep learning fundamentals
- Neural nets from scratch, embeddings, and RAG
- C++ systems — building mini_db, a database engine from the ground up
