Hi there, I'm akywaa

Systems & Backend Developer | Building Storage Engines & Low-Level Tooling

Projects Focus Telegram Discord

About Me

  • 💻 Passionate about storage internals, database engines (LSM-trees, MVCC, Write-Ahead Logs) and high-performance backend architecture.
  • 🛠️ Crafting native desktop utilities with C++ and native Win32 API.
  • 🔬 Constantly diving deep into low-level primitives: skip-lists, lock-free structures, io_uring, and temporal indexing.
  • ⚡ Open to collaborations on databases, distributed systems, and systems programming.

Featured Projects

AkwaDB 🗄️

Embedded & networked LSM-tree storage engine with Redis protocol compatibility (RESP).

  • Serializable Snapshot Isolation (SSI) with MVCC Oracle
  • WiscKey-style Key-Value separation (Value Log)
  • Lock-free SkipList memtable & TinyLFU block cache
  • Built-in Master-Replica sync & Raft cluster mode

Go LSM-Tree RESP MVCC io_uring

LensIt 🔍

Lightweight screen magnifier and instant on-screen annotation utility for Windows.

  • Zero dependencies, standalone binary (< 1MB)
  • Smooth cursor-anchored zoom via Windows Magnification API
  • On-screen vector drawing (lines, arrows, rectangles) via GDI+
  • Low-level input hooks & system tray integration

C++ Win32 API GDI+ Magnification API

Currently working on:

  • WorldLineDB - a high-throughput bitemporal database engine supporting transaction-time and valid-time interval indexing.
  • AkwaFlow - a node-based visual AI pipeline builder & execution runtime.
