Learning Route 4 Active Stops
Topics being studied deeply enough to turn into systems, notes, and experiments.
The roadmap tracks topics worth studying deeply enough to turn into usable systems, notes, or experiments.
Current learning route across reinforcement learning, performance engineering, graph systems, and agents.
- Stop 01
Applied Reinforcement Learning
Reading
Reinforcement Learning (Sutton & Barto), Deep Learning (Goodfellow et al.)
Building With
Exploring

Exploring
Distributed systems • GPU acceleration
Operating Principles
- Prototype fast in Python, then optimize the critical path deliberately.
- Use hardware acceleration where latency matters enough to justify complexity.
- Keep operational visibility alongside performance work.
