I am an engineer at LanceDB, working on vector search, full-text search, query engines, and distributed systems.

Before this, I was an ACM contestant and an Overwatch player. These days I am learning racing, mostly for the same reason I like systems work: small details compound, feedback is immediate, and good performance is earned through disciplined iteration.

This blog is where I keep technical notes, paper readings, implementation write-ups, and the occasional record of what I am learning along the way.
