Thank you for visiting my blog. I am an Engineering leader working in tech for about two decades now. A lot of work on AI / ML, Embedded Systems, Linux kernel, firmware, application software, Backend / server side, web and mobile. I have experience working on both client and server side architectures end-to-end. I like to read and write on OS (operating systems), Linux kernel and AI / ML. Most of my blogs are related to these technologies applied to various verticals where I have worked like media ( Audio / Video ), Automotive, SDWAN, IoT and Robotics. Thanks again and please provide your feedback in the form of comments.
Hand written notes on Neural Networks and ML course by Andrew Ng
About 2018 when I started working on Machine learning I took many courses. Here are my hand written notes on Neural Networks and ML course by Andrew Ng. It focuses on the fundamental concepts covered in the course, including Logistic Regression, Neural Networks, and Softmax Regression. Buckle up for some equations and diagrams! Part 1:…
How to Compile Linux kernel
There were 22 Billion internet connected devices in the world at the end of 2018. Therefore much more total computing devices including the ones that are not connected. Plus, by 2024 the number must be substantially higher. These devices run various programs written in different programming languages. Some run boring mainframe code, while others run…

BERYL – new breakthrough Acoustic Echo Cancellation by Meta
I attended Meta’s RTC@Scale 2024 Conference where Meta talked about two new major changes that it accomplished while revamping the audio processing core stack. BERYL – new breakthrough Acoustic Echo Cancellation by Meta and MLOW – a new low bitrate audio codec fully written in software. this blog contains notes on Beryl. PDF of handwritten…
Demystifying WebRTC
WebRTC (Web Real-Time Communication) has revolutionized the way web applications handle communication. It empowers developers to embed real-time audio, video, and data exchange functionalities directly within web pages and apps, eliminating the need for plugins or additional downloads. This blog’s attempts in demystifying WebRTC is the first step in learning the basics of this technology….
How to succeed at work
Lenny Rachitsky recently interviewed Elizabeth Stone – CTO of Netflix. It was a great discussion about how very high performing teams at Netflix work and an eye opening level of information about how Netflix’s unique culture is operationalized. It is also a great lesson about “How to succeed at work”. Here are some of the tidbits
NTP – Network Time Protocol
In the ever-evolving landscape of technology, precision in timekeeping is the silent force that synchronizes the digital world. Behind the scenes of our daily digital interactions lies a network of intricate systems working tirelessly to ensure that every device, every transaction, and every communication is precisely timed. At the heart of this network is NTP…
