Nandan
Patel.
Software engineer looking to build scalable, distributed, and useful systems.
Backend systems
and infrastructure.
I build infrastructure, design distributed systems, write low-level code, and create system tools. Graphics programming is where I want to go, but still a stretch away.
Outside of that, I powerlift, watch shows, learn languages, and travel.

Homelab Systems Design
A desktop PC running Ubuntu Server with k3s for Kubernetes workloads. Every service (API, cache, object store, database) runs on bare metal.
Graphics, games,
and the GPU.
I always wanted to become a physicist. Then I realized that physics could be implemented, engineered into a simulated world through math. That realization is what pulled me toward engineering.
Graphics is where that interest lives in code. Shaders, real-time rendering, and GPU programming are as close as you can get to doing real physics in software.
Life beyond
the terminal.
Engineering is what I do. Curiosity is who I am.
Competing in powerlifting. Bench Β· Squat Β· Deadlift.
Volleyball, basketball, soccer. Always up for a game.
New cities, new food, new perspectives. Always planning the next trip.
Anime, films, and shows. Always mid-series on something good.
