About Stackgazer

Software engineering is a journey of continuous learning, where theory meets practice in increasingly complex ways. Whether you're architecting distributed systems, leading engineering teams, or passionate about writing better code, reading up a variety of content on the stuff revolving around what you’re working on - is a must.

I initially started Stackgazer.com as a static blog with Hugo. Wrote a few articles in 2023 and forgot about it!
I restarted it as a Substack in Oct, 2024 with a renewed purpose - to craft enjoyable and practically applicable tech content.
