hello, i'm dharun ashokkumar · india

i build systems to understand how they work.

mostly systems software in rust, go and c. and i run d's labs: browser lab environments, served from a server at home.

i'm studying computer science at lovely professional university, and sharing the code and the lessons along the way.

open to work: internships, freelance and open-source collaboration. email me.

three things i've built

different problems. the same need to see what's happening underneath.

building
d's labs, for real users: limits, cleanup, and what happens when a worker dies mid-start.
running
the home server, from two thousand kilometres away.

the server at home

d's labs and about thirty other services run on one proxmox box at my family's home. it has no ups, so every power cut is a hard power-off. it comes back by itself: twenty-two guests in fifty-three seconds.

about me

i started with arduino projects. somewhere along the way, the questions grew into whole systems. more about me →

where to start

three routes through the site, by how long you have.

ten minutes
if you're hiring: d's labs, then merged pull requests, then the resume.
no hurry
if you're curious: the server that runs without me, what broke on it, how this site is made, and the lock in the corner.
