Deep dives
Fascination with Distributed Systems
Doshi's deep dive into distributed systems stemmed from practical experience on a telescope project, where the need for coordination among telescope subsystems led to building a distributed system. Using projects like Kafka and Cassandra to understand design decisions, Doshi delved into open-source frameworks, highlighting the balance of theory and code implementation in fully grasping distributed systems.
