Code, prose, and periodic noise. A place to put things so I don't forget how they felt.

Background & Philosophy

About Me

Software engineer, systems builder, and writer based in India. I work where systems architecture, design engineering, and practical AI meet.

Who I Am

I am Om Rajguru, an independent builder and software engineer. My work focuses on heavy thinking and lean building — designing performant web platforms, exploring AI integrations, and shipping public software.

I am drawn to systems, patterns, and how technical and product decisions ripple outward over time. Rather than building shallow prototypes, I aim to create software and write technical analyses with lasting substance, clarity, and precision.

Core Principles

Heavy Thinking, Lean Building

Deep synthesis up front ensures engineering effort goes into solving the right problems with minimal architectural complexity.

Building in Public

Documenting day-by-day progress, blockers, architectural decisions, and trade-offs directly in public build logs.

Craft & Precision

High standards for typography, interface feel, latency, and machine-readable data structures for both humans and AI agents.

Full Ownership

Taking end-to-end accountability for software reliability, performance, security, and developer ergonomics.

Technical Focus Areas

  • Web Architecture & Performance: Next.js (App Router), React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, SSR/ISR optimization, and Edge runtimes.
  • Systems & Native Runtimes: Rust, distributed systems, high-throughput microservices, and serverless compute.
  • AI Systems & Agent Readiness: Building content-negotiated, machine-readable interfaces (LLMs.txt, WebDNA, JSON-LD, agentic protocols) for intelligent crawlers and AI tooling.
  • Writing & Education: Long-form technical essays and dev notes demystifying engineering patterns and systems thinking.
