About

Engineer, tinkerer, occasional blogger.

I’m Siddharth Jain. I work on software and cloud infrastructure, and I write here mostly to document things while they’re still fresh: outages I helped debug, tools that earned a permanent spot in my workflow, and side projects that were more interesting than they had any right to be.

Most posts land in one of a few buckets:

• Incidents and postmortems — what broke, what I tried, and what actually fixed it
• Infrastructure notes — OpenSearch, AWS, and the sharp edges you only find in production
• Home lab — Raspberry Pi builds, self-hosted media, networking with Tailscale
• Workflow — terminal setup and the commands I reach for daily

If something here saved you an afternoon, that’s the whole point. Say hi on GitHub or Twitter.
