The Journey of a Systems Architect & Machine Learning Engineer

Hi there! I'm Mohit Mishra, an engineer obsessed with understanding how technology works at its core. My mission is to bridge the gap between complex computer science concepts and practical implementation, creating resources that help developers at all levels dive deeper into the systems they build.

What I Explore & Create

I inhabit the fascinating intersection of low-level systems programming and machine learning. My work spans:

📚 Educational Resources

🛠️ Open-Source Projects

  • reversingBits (488 stars): Essential reverse engineering cheatsheets and techniques.

  • amILearningEnough (1,000+ stars): A roadmap for mastering low-level programming.

  • exploring-os (256 stars): Hands-on C implementations of core operating system concepts.

🧠 Current Focus

I'm currently deep-diving into compiler design and building tensor programming libraries in C, aiming to create more efficient implementations of machine learning algorithms by leveraging my understanding of systems architecture.

My Technical Arsenal

const mohit = {
  languages: ["C", "Python", "C++", "JavaScript", "TypeScript", "Java", "R"],
  systems: ["Operating Systems", "Compilers", "Low-level Architecture", "ELF Formats"],
  machineLeaning: ["TensorFlow", "PyTorch", "Scikit-learn", "MLOps", "Data Science"],
  webDev: ["React.js", "Next.js", "Node.js", "Flask"],
  devOps: ["AWS", "Docker", "Kubernetes", "CI/CD"],
  databases: ["MongoDB", "MySQL", "PostgreSQL"]
}

Why This Substack?

This newsletter serves as my laboratory for exploring ideas at the intersection of systems and machine learning. Each week, I'll share:

  • Deep Dives: Detailed explorations of low-level computing concepts

  • ML Systems Design: How to architect efficient machine learning systems

  • Code Walkthroughs: Practical implementations with full explanations

  • Research Insights: Breaking down academic papers into practical takeaways

My goal is simple: to create the resource I wish I had when learning these complex topics. No marketing fluff, just substantive technical content that actually helps you build better systems.

Beyond the Code

When I'm not staring at a computer screen, you might find me:

  • Analyzing chess positions (I'm an avid player)

  • Writing technical articles on Medium

  • Contributing to open-source projects

  • Researching new advancements in systems architecture
