Hi there!

Nakul Chawla

Hi, I’m Nakul — a software engineer exploring the edges of infrastructure.

I’m passionate about building reliable systems at scale. You’ll usually find me working on distributed systems, performance tuning, or experimenting with ML infrastructure — from tracing pipelines to real-time data flows.

This space is a mix of notes, ideas, and deep dives into topics I’m exploring or just tinkering with tools I am interested in.

I write primarily to clarify my own thinking, but if any of it helps you, that’s a bonus.
