Software Engineer
Turning complexity into clarity
AI deep-dives, system design breakdowns, and hard-won lessons from shipping real software. No fluff. No recycled takes. Just signal.
A staged framework for scaling from a single server to a globally distributed architecture, with concrete decision checkpoints, capacity planning math, and observability triggers at every milestone.
A structured breakdown of the topics architecture interviewers actually test, with representative questions, scoring rubrics, and a realistic two-week prep plan.
Most system design resources teach you enough to draw boxes on a whiteboard. This guide covers what actually breaks under load and how engineers make real trade-offs in production.
A ground-up walkthrough of the LLM stack: tokenization, transformer internals, training pipelines, and inference optimization, from an engineering perspective.
The signal is live. Here's what to expect from imlucas.dev: AI deep-dives, system design breakdowns, and lessons from the trenches.
