0xAX/README.md

Hi, I'm Alex 👋

I'm a software engineer working mostly on backend and distributed systems.

On the Internet, I'm probably better known as 0xAX.

About me

  • Currently, I'm a backend engineer at Cennso, previously Travelping.
  • I'm deeply interested in performance engineering, databases and storage systems, Linux internals, and observability.
  • I'm the author of linux-insides and asm.
  • I write about systems and low-level topics at Understanding systems from the inside.
  • Most of my time is spent in GNU Emacs. If you're curious about my setup, my dotfiles are here.
  • Outside of programming, I play chess ♞.

Some projects that I maintain

  • linux-insides - A book-in-progress about the Linux kernel and its insides 🐧
  • asm - A course on x86-64 assembly programming for Linux ⚙️
  • ob-lean - Support for Lean 4 in Org Babel 🧩
  • BootLife - Conway's Game of Life running directly from a 512-byte x86 boot sector 💾
  • go-algorithms - Algorithms and data structures in Go 🧠
  • make-snippets - Set of reusable snippets for make 🏗️

You can find a list of my open-source contributions here.
