Current Focus
windnetwork
Building decentralized data streaming for Solana. Currently working on:
- Gossipsub-based peer discovery and data distribution
- Incentive mechanisms for storage nodes
- Historical data indexing at scale (handling 2M+ blocks/day)
- Query optimization for time-series data
GossipRPC
Experimental distributed RPC layer. Exploring request-response patterns over gossipsub without centralized coordinators.
Learning
- →libp2p internals
Deep dive into gossipsub, Kademlia DHT, and transport protocols. Understanding the tradeoffs at protocol level.
- →Performance profiling
Learning to identify and eliminate bottlenecks in high-throughput systems. Flamegraphs, perf, and custom instrumentation.
- →Rust async runtime internals
Understanding tokio's scheduler, executor, and reactor patterns. Building better mental models for concurrent systems.
- →Database optimization
TimescaleDB, ClickHouse for time-series workloads. Partitioning strategies and query optimization.
Writing
Publishing field notes every 2-3 weeks. Focus areas:
- Infrastructure lessons from production systems
- Solana data problems and solutions
- Distributed systems patterns that work (and don't)
- Performance benchmarks and optimization techniques
Optimizing
- • Deep work blocks (6-8 hours, minimal context switching)
- • Writing cadence (regular publishing schedule)
- • Code review process (faster feedback loops)
- • Documentation as I build (not after)
This is a now page. It's a snapshot of what I'm focused on right now. If we were having coffee, this is what I'd probably talk about.
