Building in public · 2026

I’m learning how to build systems that stay reliable when things fail.

I’m Sanskruti, a student building practical foundations in backend engineering, distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, and security through experiments—not just tutorials.

// what I am working toward

focus: distributed systems

building: reliable services

measuring: failure behavior

next: Go + service boundaries

progress 01 / 48 weeks

01 / About

A portfolio for the work behind the résumé.

I’m documenting the process of becoming a stronger systems engineer: understanding what happens underneath an API, testing what breaks, and explaining the trade-offs clearly.

My current 48-week study roadmap moves from Linux and networking through databases, Go services, replication, Kafka, Kubernetes, observability, and cloud security. The goal is to turn each phase into a small, verifiable project with tests, measurements, diagrams, and honest limitations.

02 / Now

Learning

Linux processes, filesystems, signals, networking, and concurrency.

In progress

Building

A systems-foundations repository with command notes and a process-inspector script.

In progress

Practicing

Explaining failures with evidence: symptom, hypothesis, experiment, fix.

Ongoing

03 / Roadmap

From foundations to secure distributed infrastructure.

A 48-week path designed around implementation, failure experiments, and technical write-ups.

Systems Foundations

A growing lab of Linux process, filesystem, and networking experiments. Each entry records what I tried, what I observed, and what I learned.

Open to thoughtful opportunities

Let’s build something
worth explaining.

I’m interested in internships, entry-level roles, and conversations around backend systems, infrastructure, reliability, and security.
