I am Ayush Satyam.

I'm a Software Engineer, Tinkerer, and Explorer at heart. Currently, I work at Red Hat as a Systems Machine Learning Engineer, where I get to build, understand and tinker with systems every day.

Nothing excites me more than diving one level deeper than I'm "supposed to" — whether it's databases, file systems, compilers, networking, or distributed systems (where the real fun begins). I love chasing the "why" and "how" behind the tech.

Stagnation — doing the same things without questioning — is my worst nightmare. I don't like labelling myself as "Frontend," "Backend," "Full Stack," or even "Systems Engineer." My experience spans frontend and backend engineering, databases, systems programming, and cloud-native software; these days, I also work on compilers and inference engineering for ML systems. I still enjoy being a generalist and following problems across the stack.
