What I'm Doing Now

A public log of active projects, technical deep dives, system design research, and current availability. Inspired by Derek Sivers' /now page movement.

Building & Hardening
  • LinkforgeTesting Phase

    Completing end-to-end load tests on multi-tenant partition boundaries, hardening transactional username migrations, and profiling clickstream event queue throughput.

  • InfinityIn Development

    Optimizing 10-second debounced state normalization routines between Excalidraw canvas instances and Neon Serverless PostgreSQL using Drizzle ORM.

Investigating & Debugging
  • Event loop diagnostics: Deep-diving into Node.js ServerResponse listener lifecycles and tracking down intermittent memory warnings under load.
  • Database latency under contention: Profiling query execution plans and connection pool behavior on serverless PostgreSQL endpoints.
Exploring & Reading

Reading papers on consensus mechanisms, transaction isolation anomalies (dirty reads, non-repeatable reads, serialization conflicts), and real-time collaborative state engines.
