I build systems that scale and sometimes think.

I'm Ishan. By training, an engineer. By habit, someone who can't leave a hard problem alone.

I build systems that handle millions of transactions without flinching. I've developed a sharp intuition for failure — what causes it, what masks it, and what it quietly costs when nobody's looking.

The other half of my brain lives at the intersection of distributed systems and software that thinks for itself. I'm working at the edge of what's possible right now, which means I'm wrong a lot and right just enough to keep going.

I write when I learn something worth saying.
