Alex Chen

I'm a systems engineer with 6+ years of experience building infrastructure at scale. My passion lies at the intersection of correctness, performance, and elegant design.

This blog is where I document my explorations — from the depths of distributed consensus to the nuances of Rust's ownership model to the latest developments in LLM inference.

When I'm not writing code or prose, you'll find me contributing to open source, hiking mountain trails, or experimenting with home espresso.
