About Me
Welcome
I’m Biplav Poudel, a Computer Science graduate, focused on systems engineering, cloud infrastructure, and backend platforms. I enjoy building and operating Linux-based systems, distributed services, and automation pipelines, with a strong emphasis on reliability, observability, and real-world deployment.
My work sits at the intersection of cloud-native architecture, platform tooling, and hands-on systems administration—the part of computing where design decisions meet operational reality.
What I Work On
My work centers on building and operating Linux-based systems, from cloud infrastructure down to the operating system itself. I spend time deploying and maintaining self-managed services, working with containers and orchestration platforms, and building automation around real system behavior rather than idealized diagrams.
Alongside cloud and platform work, I’m currently studying Advanced Embedded Linux Development, focusing on process management, signal handling, IO interfacing using POSIX APIs in C, as well building Linux kernel with Buildroot and Yocto. This also includes understanding boot processes, kernel and userspace boundaries, system initialization, and how design choices at the OS level affect performance, reliability, and debuggability.
I’m especially interested in the points where systems fail quietly: misconfigurations, resource pressure, observability gaps, and operational edge cases; and in building tooling and workflows that make those failures visible and manageable.
How This Site Is Organized
This portfolio is intentionally structured by intent:
- CV - Academic background, experience, and technical profile
- Projects - Hands-on work in systems, cloud, automation, and infrastructure
- Certificates - Formal training and industry-recognized credentials
- Blog - Attempt on technical writing on Linux and Systems design
Rather than duplicating information here, this page serves as an entry point to those sections.
What I’m Aiming For
I’m preparing for a graduate degree in Computer Science / IT, with long-term interests in distributed systems, platform engineering, and large-scale reliable infrastructure.
I believe good systems are boring in production, fascinating in design, and ruthless about clarity.
