Field Notes for Future Builders

This living journal organizes the skills, infrastructure, and practices required to ship reliable AI systems. Use these tracks as a blueprint for building the future with nirmata.dev.

Data Structures & Algorithms

Writing code that doesn't crash at scale. From Big-O notation to optimizing memory usage for high-throughput data processing systems.

Coming soonStay tuned

Cloud Computing

The environment where AI lives. Mastering AWS/Azure core services, serverless architectures, and designing cost-effective compute clusters.

Coming soonStay tuned

DevOps

The automation factory. Containerization (Docker), Orchestration (Kubernetes), and CI/CD pipelines to deploy code reliably across environments.

Coming soonStay tuned

GPU & CUDA

Hardware acceleration deep dive. Understanding memory bandwidth, kernel optimization, and parallel computing to speed up training and inference.

Coming soonStay tuned

Data Engineering

The plumbing of the stack. Designing robust pipelines (ETL/ELT), modeling warehouses (Snowflake/BigQuery), and handling streaming data (Kafka) with ACID guarantees.

Coming soonStay tuned

Data Science

The scientific method applied to business. Statistical analysis, A/B testing strategies, and causal inference to make data-driven product decisions.

Coming soonStay tuned

Mathematics of AI

The theory behind the magic. Linear Algebra, Calculus, and Probability concepts required to understand optimization landscapes and debug model convergence.

Coming soonStay tuned

Machine Learning

Classical predictive modeling. Mastering tabular data techniques (XGBoost, Random Forest), feature engineering, and solving classification/regression problems.

Coming soonStay tuned

Deep Learning

Perceptual intelligence. Building Neural Networks from scratch, understanding Backpropagation, and mastering architectures for Vision (CNNs) and Sequences (RNNs).

Coming soonStay tuned

Reinforcement Learning

Agent-based learning. Designing environments, reward functions, and policies for systems that must learn optimal strategies through trial and error.

Coming soonStay tuned

Generative AI

The creation engine. Understanding Transformers (Attention mechanisms), Diffusion models, and fine-tuning LLMs to synthesize text, code, and images.

Coming soonStay tuned

MLOps

Managing the model lifecycle. Feature stores, model registries, drift detection, and automated retraining pipelines to ensure reproducibility.

Coming soonStay tuned

AI Engineering

Building the end-user application. RAG systems, Vector Databases, prompt engineering frameworks, and managing the latency/reliability of non-deterministic models.
