Behind the notebook
A little about
this space.
I’m Sandeep Sen, a technologist at Microsoft with 15+ years across software engineering, cloud platforms, and developer tools.
What you’ll find
Realistic system design at every scale, from welcoming a first customer to handling a viral launch. I explore software architecture, the trade-offs behind technical decisions, and how systems evolve under real-world constraints.
You’ll also find notes on general computing, developer tools, and ideas worth experimenting with. The focus is on understanding what works, why it works, and when something simpler is enough.
These are my personal perspectives, not my employer’s views.
