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.
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.
Writing code that doesn't crash at scale. From Big-O notation to optimizing memory usage for high-throughput data processing systems.
The environment where AI lives. Mastering AWS/Azure core services, serverless architectures, and designing cost-effective compute clusters.
The automation factory. Containerization (Docker), Orchestration (Kubernetes), and CI/CD pipelines to deploy code reliably across environments.
Hardware acceleration deep dive. Understanding memory bandwidth, kernel optimization, and parallel computing to speed up training and inference.
The plumbing of the stack. Designing robust pipelines (ETL/ELT), modeling warehouses (Snowflake/BigQuery), and handling streaming data (Kafka) with ACID guarantees.
The scientific method applied to business. Statistical analysis, A/B testing strategies, and causal inference to make data-driven product decisions.
The theory behind the magic. Linear Algebra, Calculus, and Probability concepts required to understand optimization landscapes and debug model convergence.
Classical predictive modeling. Mastering tabular data techniques (XGBoost, Random Forest), feature engineering, and solving classification/regression problems.
Perceptual intelligence. Building Neural Networks from scratch, understanding Backpropagation, and mastering architectures for Vision (CNNs) and Sequences (RNNs).
Agent-based learning. Designing environments, reward functions, and policies for systems that must learn optimal strategies through trial and error.
The creation engine. Understanding Transformers (Attention mechanisms), Diffusion models, and fine-tuning LLMs to synthesize text, code, and images.
Managing the model lifecycle. Feature stores, model registries, drift detection, and automated retraining pipelines to ensure reproducibility.
Building the end-user application. RAG systems, Vector Databases, prompt engineering frameworks, and managing the latency/reliability of non-deterministic models.
