Hey everyone - I'm writing again
After a long hiatus, I’m back to publishing essays, breakdowns, and notes around the themes I live and breathe: systems, software, and the edges of machine learning.
The project’s called The Caffeinated Engineer — no fluff, no buzzwords. Just thoughtful writing for people building real things.
Where to find it:
You’re reading where you’ll find the main work, here on Substack
Essays & Breakdowns: deep dives, patterns, and hard-earned insights
Letters & Notes: short, reflective pieces — often conversations with fictional counterparts, like a senior engineer or curious peer
Why now?
I’ve seen too many shallow takes dominate the space. This is my attempt to offer something grounded, useful, and independent. I’ll share what I’ve learned building in the real world — the kind of material I always wished I had early in my career.
Thanks to everyone who stuck around. If you’re into this kind of writing, give it a read. If you know someone who might appreciate it, pass it on.
See you soon.
