shraddhaag / hacktoberfest

A collection of words! :star: it if you :+1: it !

Hi, I'm Shraddha! 👋

A backend engineer working with distributed systems. I currently work at Hasura, designing, building and maintaining the APIs that power the company's Cloud product. I also write and speak occasionally about the work I am doing.

I am focused on writing software that isn’t a pain in the ass for the next person who works with it or rather less crudely put, is well tested, documented and observable. I believe user empathy is an important consideration while designing APIs. I try to stay away from premature optimisation and consider writing documentation as important as development.

I mainly work with Golang these days, briefly explored Rust and have Python experience.

shraddhaag.dev is my home on the internet. You can reach out to me on mail [email protected] or on Twitter!

Challenges

Since late last year, I have discovered the joy of solving coding challenges with a strong community presense.

• aoc - Solution to Advent of Code 2023 in Golang.
• 1brc - My take on the One Billion Rows Challenge.

If you know about more challenges that I should try, please write to me!

Write

I believe writing cements understanding and boosts clarity. Some of my select posts:

• One Billion Rows Challenge in Golang - The Primeagen walked through the post on his livestream!
• Improving Teuthology Scheduling: GSoC 2020 with Ceph Foundation.

You can find all my posts here.
