Anurag Srivastav
Hi, I'm Anurag. I build distributed systems that scale.
My approach to engineering is deeply influenced by the Unix philosophy — building simple, composable, and purposeful tools that do one thing well.
I write about my engineering decisions and backend learnings. All my blogs will be hosted here read them at /blog.
