About

I’m Irfan Farooq, an engineer interested in databases, operating systems, distributed systems, and security. I write practical notes about how these systems work, how to build with them, and how they fail.

This site is my home for those notes — a place to collect write-ups, experiments, and things I don’t want to forget.

If you spot a mistake, have a question, or just want to say hello, the fastest way to reach me is on LinkedIn or X.
