Hey, Awesome to See You Here 👋
Engineering tales from the terminal. Typed with feeling. And backspaces.
Welcome to dgtalbug.dev — not just another tech blog, but a digital garage built by a passionate developer (that’s me) who turned a love for clean code into a way of life.
Back in the day, I fell for programming like a nerd falls for a mechanical keyboard. From Spring Boot to React, NestJS to NextJS, and recently Docker, TypeScript, and Go — I’ve been obsessively chasing elegant code and scalable systems like they’re rare Pokémon. (And yes, I use dark theme. Always.)
Over the years, I’ve worn many hats — architecting systems, debugging nightmares, teaching peers, and occasionally yelling at CI/CD pipelines like they owe me money. My current mission? To help developers learn faster, build better, and interview smarter.
Whether it’s Data Structures, System Design, or just beautifully architected microservices, I believe in sharing what I learn and learning by sharing.
👾 Who’s This For?
Anyone who loves tech, hates gatekeeping, and isn’t afraid to break (and fix) things for the sake of learning.
Whether you’re prepping for your first interview or architecting cloud systems, you’re welcome in this garage.
💡 What This Blog Is All About
- 🧠 DSA & Algorithms: From the basics to beast-mode Leetcode patterns.
- ⚙️ System Design: Practical and scalable, explained with diagrams, not jargon.
- 🔥 Real Interview Prep: For folks who want to go from “I think I know this” to “I own this.”
- 🌐 Fullstack Playground: Experiments in Next.js, React, AWS, Spring Cloud, and more.
🚀 Why I Built This
Because the internet needed one more developer blog…
Just kidding.
I built this because I wanted a space where deep tech meets clean UX. Where we don’t just paste code — we understand it. A space for developers who love building and hate fluff.
🧪 Tools I Love (for the nerds)
- Frontend: React, Next.js, Tailwind, Framer Motion
- Backend: Spring Boot, WebFlux, NestJS, Go, Kafka, Redis
- Cloud/DevOps: AWS, Docker, Kubernetes
- Automation: n8n, Flowise, LangChain
🫱🏽🫲🏽 Let’s Connect
I’m also building Stephen, a JARVIS-style open-source LLM-powered assistant, and Horcrux, a framework for modular AI systems.
Follow along if you love bleeding-edge tech mixed with storytelling.
🛠️ Open Source Projects
- Stephen: A JARVIS-style open-source LLM-powered assistant for developers.
- Horcrux: A modular, extensible AI framework for building and orchestrating powerful LLM workflows.
⭐ Star them on GitHub, contribute, or just take a peek under the hood!
💬 Open DMs
Got a gnarly bug, a spicy interview question, or just want to geek out about dark mode vs. light mode? Comments and collabs are always welcome.
Hit follow or subscribe for unfiltered dev notes, memes, and the occasional deep-dive thread you’ll actually want to read.
Just a code-dreamer, debugger, tech philosopher, and UI animation addict, building one clean interface at a time.
