I’ve always been fascinated by the magic of technology. As a kid, I’d spend hours reverse engineering the windows apps and trying to understand how they worked. But it wasn’t until I discovered system design that I truly grasped the power and potential behind the software we use every day.

System design isn’t just about coding; it’s about creating the blueprints for the most intricate and impactful digital creations.

It’s the art of crafting the infrastructure that supports social media platforms with billions of users, the backbone of global financial systems, and even the software that powers self-driving cars and many more. It’s about tackling challenges at scale and building systems that can adapt and evolve with the ever-changing needs of the world.

I’m starting this blog category because I believe that system design is a crucial skill for any aspiring software engineer or tech enthusiast. It’s not just about the technical know-how; it’s about problem-solving, critical thinking, and a deep understanding of how technology can be used to make a real difference in people’s lives.
