Suriya
Hi! 👋
I’m Suriya (pronounced Soo-r-ya)
I’m an Engineer, who loves to write. Suffice to say, I write here when I’m trying to think through something or when I’ve solved something.
I’m currently doing my Masters in Privacy Engineering at CMU, and my research is on the intersection between Machine Learning, Privacy and Systems Software.
I Love reading and experimenting with Distributed and embedded systems.
I enjoy meeting new people. So definitely send a shout-out to me at, hi at suriya.cc. 🙂

Asynchronous programming is a powerful paradigm for building highly concurrent and efficient I/O-bound applications.
I will dissect the core components of Rust’s asynchrony, from the fundamental Future trait to the complexities of Pin and memory management.

Bill Gates starts this story from his roots up until the point he found Microsoft and it became a really serious thing. I like that the book closes right after the founding of Microsoft. Because much has been written about that part of the story
