About

I'm a software engineer living in the beautiful city of Amsterdam, Netherlands. I'm strongly interested in distributed systems, databases and storage systems and have over ten years of experience in the industry with Go and Rust ecosystems. Currently, I work as a Senior Software Engineer at Cloudflare on the Workers Storage department, primarily on KV and R2. I'm an avid reader and enjoy exploring more or less any genre such as history, business, economics, psychology, and science fiction. You can find a huge collection of my book reviews here. I also love running and I am regularly in the field.

This website serves as a central repository for documenting and sharing the thoughts, insights, and knowledge I've accumulated.

I would greatly appreciate any comments and feedback on my posts .

Tech stack

This website is hosted on Cloudflare, built with Open Next.js and Tailwind CSS using Tailwind Nextjs Starter Blog.

A huge thanks to Timothy Lin and Tuan Anh (Leo) Huynh for the minimal, lightweight, and super easy-to-customize blog starter.

Main changes are made to port Next.js to Open Next.js to host on Cloudflare with worker ecosystem while removing some dependencies and features I deem unnecessary in the original versions.

Assets
