Most of my work lives at the intersection of modeling and production systems, where I build, deploy, and scale ML-driven services. I studied mathematical physics at the University of Waterloo where I dreamt about equations mostly. I enjoy building systems, thinking deeply about how things work, and discovering new perspectives. Beyond work, I explore: - Consciousness and intelligence - Philosophy through science fiction - [Watching Films](https://letterboxd.com/Abhik2000/), playing the guitar, camping and skiing I’m based in **Toronto**, and always happy to grab a coffee and discuss ideas. `abapna [at] uwaterloo [dot] ca` **Links** - [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/abhikbapna/) - [GitHub](https://github.com/Abhik0605) - [[Abhik_Bapna_S.pdf| Resume]] ## Projects Technical projects that I have worked on ##### [[Database from scratch]] `(2026.01)` <span style="opacity:0.6">Building a database from first principles in Go; exploring kv storage, file systems and B+Trees</span> ## Writing & Musings Thoughts, essays, and half-formed ideas; often inspired by books, research, or conversations. ##### [[Musings on Python Concurrency]] `(2026.03)` <span style="opacity:0.6">Exploring the peculiarities of concurrency in Python</span>
