Now

A snapshot of what I'm currently up to. Last updated: June 14, 2026

🛠️

At work

Working on PostgreSQL internals at Zoho — currently deep in the Planner, Executor and connection management layer to improve distributed query performance.

📚

Reading

Reading 'Norwegian Wood' by Murakami, and 'Designing Data-Intensive Applications' by Martin Kleppmann to deepen my understanding of distributed systems design (currently in the Chapter 2: Data Models and Query Languages out of 12)

🌱

Learning

Exploring Rust in spare time and trying some hands-on projects to get a feel for the language and ecosystem. And also exploring the C Source code of PostgreSQL other than Planner, Copy & Executor layer

✍️

Writing

Writing two series on PostgreSQL Internals (includes Planner, Core Internals, WAL etc..), Rust Basics, PG Source Code and some Personal Writings

🗣️

Others

Started learning Japanese in Duolingo. Restarted running again.
