Hi, I'm Srini

I'm K Srinivas Rao, a software engineer. I build backend systems for a living.

On YouTube I run Sriniously, where I teach backend from first principles, systems and architecture: HTTP, routing, auth, databases, caching, queues, observability, scaling, and everything in between.

Backend from first principles

A 30-part series that starts with what a backend is and goes all the way to security, scaling, real-time systems, and DevOps. Start with the roadmap.
