Whitepapers
Research papers and technical documents I've authored or deeply analyzed. Focusing on distributed systems, AI performance, and software architecture.
On the Performance of Agentic Workflows in Distributed Environments
Explores the latency trade-offs when LLM agents need to coordinate across network boundaries. Proposes a 'gossip protocol' approach for agent consensus.
Dynamo: Amazon's Highly Available Key-value Store
A foundational paper on distributed systems. The discussion around consistent hashing and vector clocks deeply influenced how I designed the replication layer in Vortex Cache.
Out of the Tar Pit
Fundamentally changed how I view state and complexity in large codebases. Strongly advocates for functional relational programming to tame essential complexity.
