About

Akash A

I'm an MCA student exploring Linux infrastructure, observability, cloud-native systems, and how modern software architecture evolved. This site is meant to be a public notebook — a place to document what I learn and build, written from things I've actually done.

I'm also a Wikimedia contributor, working on open-source and Wikimedia technology projects.

My focus areas right now: Linux internals, container runtimes, observability tooling (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry), reverse proxies, and the layers that exist between application code and bare metal.

I believe in learning by building. Posts will go up here as I run things, hit something unexpected, and work through it.

Currently

Pursuing an MCA and building out this site. Actively contributing to Wikimedia projects and exploring Linux internals, container runtimes, and observability tooling.
