Engineering notes on constrained infrastructure, service recovery, and resource-aware AI systems.

This site collects sanitized engineering notes about restricted-network platform migration, stateful service recovery, private artifact workflows, operational AI serving constraints, and resource-constrained AI projects.

Work Map

Concrete Threads

The recurring pattern is not a broad interest in infrastructure; it is a set of specific failure modes, constraints, and design decisions that kept showing up across service operation and AI workload projects.

Restricted-Network Platform Migration

Selected services moved from ad-hoc Docker operation toward a lightweight Kubernetes/K3S-based platform while dealing with image distribution, service exposure, persistent storage, and deployment standardization.

Stateful Service Recovery

PVC-backed services required thinking beyond pod rescheduling: storage detach/attach delay, rebuild behavior, service readiness, downtime, and RTO/RPO boundaries.

Private Artifact and Bootstrap Supply Chain

Restricted networks made artifact distribution part of reliability work: image mirroring, Maven/Nexus behavior, bootstrap dependency paths, and registry self-dependency risks.

Full-GPU Serving Availability

Full-GPU workloads made fine-grained sharing less straightforward, so degraded serving, active-active replicas, and traffic rerouting became more realistic availability questions.

TinyML Memory Planning

TensorFlow Lite Micro work focused on tensor lifetimes, conflict relationships, BFS-style allocation ordering, and in-place update opportunities to reduce peak memory.

Hardware-Aware CNN Acceleration

The Zynq FPGA accelerator project used bit-shift operations, INQ/STE quantization, IM2COL, systolic array dataflow, and AXI4-Lite PS/PL integration to study area/runtime tradeoffs.

Technical Index

Concept study notes are separated from operational records so DevOps stays closer to troubleshooting, runbooks, deployment decisions, and recovery paths.
