Hi, I'm Jaydeep

ece grad now based in pune. i started programming in 2018 and stayed close to backend work: apis, clis, and tools. give me a complex system and i'll keep pulling until it makes sense.

away from the desk, i'm on a badminton court, at a beach, or 40 tabs deep into some random corner of the internet.

Analyst Intern at Deloitte · Pune, India

current focus

  1. 01

    interning at deloitte

    working on production backend systems at deloitte and learning the habits that keep them maintainable after they ship.

  2. 02

    going deeper on backend systems

    studying distributed systems, failure modes, and what breaks under load—the parts that only show up under pressure.

  3. 03

    keeping my tools honest

    still refining notewise and a few smaller tools. the bar is simple: is it still useful a month later?

  4. 04

    writing to understand

    writing is how i check understanding. if i cannot explain it clearly, i probably do not understand it yet.

how i think through the work

  1. 01

    Reliable beats clever

    The systems I trust most are boring in the best way: observable, recoverable, and understandable when something is already going wrong.

  2. 02

    Tools should earn their place

    I like software that keeps reducing friction after the launch moment, not just software that looks finished in a demo.

  3. 03

    Hardware made the constraints feel real

    ECE and competition work taught me that clean software still has to meet messy signals, latency, field conditions, and operators under pressure.

favorites

tools, films, books, and references i keep returning to. the selection reshuffles on every visit.

  1. system overflow

    system design through fundamentals, not templates. the kind of prep that actually transfers.

  2. bytebytego

    system design explained visually. good for making architecture feel less abstract.

  3. julia evans

    makes low level and terminal topics feel approachable. simple explanations are hard work and hers show it. wizard zines is hers too.

  4. notewise

    cli tool i built to turn youtube videos into proper study notes. chapter detection, smart chunking, multilanguage. scratched my own itch.

still open

goals

ideas and personal threads i want to keep visible before they become plans.

  1. eat my way around the world

    no itinerary, no highlights reel. just entering a city hungry and ordering something i cannot read. food feels like the most honest way into a place.

  2. build a body i can rely on

    not about how it looks. i want a body that does not quit when things get hard, that can carry weight uphill and recover and still be there in thirty years. consistency is the whole plan.

  3. do something that takes days and removes all comfort

    a long trail at altitude, cold nights, heavy pack, no signal. long enough that i stop thinking about home and start thinking about water. i want to know what i am like when there is no other option.

  4. be the kind of person people can count on

    not just for the milestone moments. for the ordinary tuesday when someone needs a call returned or a meal dropped off. i am building a life and i want the people in it to feel that clearly.
