Shift.

Hey there! I’m Suchitra, I also go by Shift.

I’m a Computer Science student focused on systems, backend engineering, and low-level infrastructure.

I research storage engines, distributed systems, and performance tools.

My work includes LSM-tree implementations, log retrieval systems, and experimental debugging and profiling projects.

I’m interested in data-intensive systems, ML infrastructure, and the systems challenges behind modern machine learning workloads.

This site is my digital sysroot, a place where I document what I build and how I think.

Find my projects and blog posts below!

Ps: Look out for the easter eggs :P
