I am a beginner learning backend development and agent systems. I enjoy understanding how services work, building small projects, and turning experiments into code I can test and explain.
- Backend APIs, service boundaries, and practical system design
- Agent workflows, tool use, state, and recovery
- Concurrency, retries, and graceful shutdown
- Databases, observability, and tests that make failures easier to understand
I start with a working codebase, trace one request from the API to storage, and write a small experiment when I need to understand a new idea. I keep the resulting notes and tests close to the code so I can reproduce what I learned.
I am learning by contributing to a self-hosted Anthropic-compatible model gateway. My current work covers Runtime Adapter Compute inventory collection, validated snapshot persistence, bounded retry and shutdown handling, metrics, and deterministic tests.
