🧱 I don't use frameworks to learn — I build from scratch.
Compiler → lexer, Pratt parser, type inference, 28-opcode bytecode compiler, stack VM with mark-sweep GC (C++20)
Streaming Engine → commit log, TCP broker, wire protocol, producer/consumer SDKs, LZ4 compression (Rust)
Transformer → GPT architecture from scratch — RoPE, RMSNorm, BPE tokenizer, MQA ablation (PyTorch)
Cache Server → O(1) LRU eviction, TTL, sharded thread-safe storage, benchmarked latency (C++20)
