Hi, I'm Joshua Alana
Passionate about building robust systems from kernel to cloud. Specializing in system programming, distributed systems, and modern web technologies.
About Me
Bridging the gap between low-level system programming and modern web development
With a deep passion for system-level programming and modern web technologies, I bring a unique perspective to full-stack development. My journey began with kernel development, which taught me the importance of efficient, reliable code.
Today, I apply these principles to building scalable web applications and distributed systems, ensuring optimal performance from the kernel to the cloud.
