What we do

I am C++ developer. I used to develop on Windows OS. But now I have shifted to Linux.

This site runs Openresty (an offshoot of NGINX), which uses Lua as a scripting language, on Podman containers. There are separate containers for MariadDB, PhpFPM, and a C++ http server, based on Asio running as an upstream server. There is also a Wordpress container. Following Jason Knight I don't use any framework apart from JQuery. I started using PHP and Lua in the backend. I am now migrating to C++ from PHP.

July 2026: I was using PHP to handle contact-me forms and post them as a mail message. I have moved that to C++. ZeroMQ is used to queue the messages. Yeh!

I write blogs relating to C++. I also publish code on github
