Dev Notes

I write about code the way I wish someone had explained it to me: snippets, tutorials, and deep dives into software engineering.

How I Would Serve Exam Results to 14 Lakh Students at Once Without Breaking a Sweat

A deep-dive into a static-first, multi-CDN system design that serves 14,00,000 concurrent exam result requests at sub-200ms latency with zero database dependency in the hot path.

I Built a Claude Skill That Audits Your Code for Edge Cases Before They Reach Production

interruptions is a Claude skill that walks your code through 12 failure categories, writes a full audit, and fixes issues in order of severity.

The Persistence of Intent

Software should remember what the user intended, even when the connection fails or the page refreshes. We are rethinking how state survives reality.

How to stop Claude from scanning your entire codebase every session

WebDNA generates a single manifest file at build time. Claude reads that instead of crawling your files. Here is how to set it up.

Building a Home for My Work

I needed a space that proved I could build what I promised. This is how I moved my projects into a dedicated, high-standard home.

Better typography, built automatically

Eliminate font-induced layout shifts and manual preloading with a build tool that automatically detects, matches, and optimizes your typography.

Building My Own AI-Powered iCloud

Tired of juggling multiple free-tier accounts, I engineered a custom, hybrid-cloud backend-as-a-service using Apple’s database of choice, FoundationDB, and integrated it directly into my AI coding workflow via a private MCP server.

Introducing the HIG Compliance Auditor for Claude Code

The HIG Compliance Auditor is a custom skill for Claude Code designed to automate the technical review of software projects against Apple’s Human Interface Guidelines.

WebDNA: A structured interface for AI agents

Every website currently forces AI tools to guess how they work. WebDNA provides a zero-configuration standard for Next.js projects to share their architecture, design tokens, and component logic in a machine-readable format.

I Am Building WebDNA: A Zero-Config AI Context Standard for the Web

Every AI agent that touches your website is flying blind. It squints at raw HTML, guesses your component structure, and forces you to re-explain your own project from scratch every single session. I got tired of that problem, so I decided to build the fix.
