Hi, I'm Deepak. I work on ad-serving infrastructure at Amazon by day, and at night I tinker: small tools, self-hosted services, whatever rabbit hole is open that week. I like systems small enough to fit in my head, I run most of my own stack on a home server, and I've been quietly shipping open source since 2010.
