<p>I'm Suyan — a software engineer in Seattle. I spend my days building large-scale backend systems at Amazon, and my nights thinking about what else I want to build. This site is where I'll write about that: side projects, things I've learned, ideas I'm turning over.</p>
<p>No particular schedule. No particular audience. Just a place to think out loud.</p>
<hr />
<p>A few things I'm currently interested in:</p>
<ul>
<li>High-performance systems and what it takes to build them well</li>
<li>The intersection of finance and technology — quant, fintech, trading infrastructure</li>
<li>Tools that reduce digital noise rather than add to it</li>
<li>Learning Rust properly, not just dabbling</li>
</ul>
<p>If any of that overlaps with what you're curious about, stick around.</p>
