Learning Projects & Experiments

Hands-on projects built while completing courses and exploring new technologies. From Coursera classes to production implementations, demonstrating continuous learning and growth mindset.

Distributed Cache Implementation

In Progress

Jan 2026

Redis Go Docker Kubernetes

Built Redis-based distributed caching layer with cache invalidation strategies and distributed consensus patterns. Implemented consistent hashing for node distribution and explored CAP theorem tradeoffs in practice.

Outcome

"Deep dive into distributed systems, cache coherence protocols, and real-world latency optimization."

Small Bets

Minor experiments, scripts, and configurations that keep the tools sharp but don't warrant a full case study.
