Tech Foundations

System Design and Architecture

Welcome to the Knowledge Base for System Design, Engineering and Architecture!

I’m putting together this knowledge base on system design, backend engineering, and software architecture with a clear aim: it’s not just about building systems that scale, run smoothly, and don’t crash—it’s also about making them solve real problems and deliver value, with no fluff attached.

I’m not here to drone on about technical details for the sake of it. I want to dig into trade-off analysis, structured decision-making, and seeing the whole picture. Instead of just showing how things work, I want to focus on why certain choices are better than others and how to use them to get things done that actually matter.

Get Started

System Design

Structured collection of materials teaches fundamental system design concepts, focusing on key principles, trade-offs, and structured decision-making to help you in real-world engineering challenges.

Engineering

Here I'm exploring engineering practices, their relationship with system design, and how they influence software architecture. How foundational engineering principles can shape efficient systems.

Foundations

I'm exploring here reflection practices, learning strategies, and foundational frameworks and methods that help deepen any understanding. My focus is on methods that structure knowledge effectively and make it easier to apply concepts when designing systems.
