Welcome! You’ve landed on my working notes, the digital dump from my brain to the internet 😄

These notes are a mix of:

  • half-formed thoughts

  • AWS experiments

  • engineering explorations

  • lessons learned

  • and random stuff I found interesting

Most of what’s here was originally written for myself, so sometimes things may feel unfinished or chaotic. That’s okay — this space is an experiment in learning publicly and sharing transparently.

If something looks wrong, outdated, or confusing, feel free to ping me. I genuinely appreciate constructive corrections and perspectives.

Where to start?

Anywhere. Seriously 😌

Try any of these:

👉 Search for a topic
👉 Click on random notes
👉 Explore the graph view
👉 Or start with some of the main areas below

📌 Things I think and write about

Tech & Software Engineering

  • AWS

  • Multi-region Architecture

  • Monitoring & Observability

  • DevOps

  • Infrastructure as Code

  • CI/CD pipelines

  • GitLab CI

  • Kubernetes

  • Amazon ECS

  • DynamoDB

  • RDS

  • Event-driven patterns

  • Serverless

  • Cost optimization

Learning, Notes & Productivity

  • Structured note-taking
  • How to learn fast
  • Why documenting matters
  • Tools like Obsidian & Quartz
  • PKM (Personal Knowledge Management)
  • Learning in public

Side quests & explorations

  • Performance testing
  • Building utilities and automation
  • Experiments with new tech
  • Mentoring people
  • Writing content

🛠 How this is built

I write notes in Obsidian, sync them to Git, and Quartz turns them into a static website.

The pipeline looks something like:

Obsidian → GitHub → Quartz → Cloudflare Pages

🧠 Why this exists

Simple:

So I don’t forget what I learned…
and so others don’t have to struggle through the same confusion.

If you learn something from here — that makes this worth it.

If not well at least I did 🙂

Finally — thanks for being here.
Learning should be shared, not hidden.
