Learn more about Raj and the Sepoy Tech Blog.

Hi! I'm Raj, the founder of Sepoy Software. This blog is where I share technical essays on the things I'm passionate about: software architecture, AI/ML, frontend development, iOS/Swift, engineering leadership, and developer tools.

What You'll Find Here

This blog focuses on practical, in-depth technical content. I write about:

  • Software Architecture: System design patterns, scalability challenges, and architectural decision-making
  • AI/ML: Machine learning applications, AI tooling, and practical implementations
  • Frontend Development: Modern web technologies, JavaScript frameworks, and user experience
  • iOS & Swift: Mobile development, Swift programming, and iOS ecosystem insights
  • Engineering Leadership: Technical leadership, team building, and engineering management
  • Developer Tools: Productivity tools, workflow optimization, and development environment setup

The Technology Behind This Blog

This site is built with Eleventy, a static site generator that prioritizes performance and simplicity. Key features include:

  • Performance-first: Minimal JavaScript, optimized images, and fast loading times
  • Accessibility: WCAG 2.1 AA compliant with semantic HTML and proper ARIA labels
  • Responsive Design: Works beautifully on all devices and screen sizes
  • Dark/Light Themes: Multiple color palettes you can switch between
  • Advanced Features: Series support, related posts, full-text search, and RSS/Atom/JSON feeds

The design uses an earthy forest color palette by default, with additional themes available. All code is syntax-highlighted, math equations are rendered with KaTeX, and diagrams are created with Mermaid.

I love hearing from readers! Whether you have questions about a post, suggestions for topics, or just want to chat about technology:

Philosophy

My tagline is "Technology sucks" because I believe we can always do better. Technology should serve people, not the other way around. Through this blog, I aim to share solutions that make technology more humane, accessible, and genuinely useful.

Every post is written with care, tested thoroughly, and focused on providing real value to fellow developers and technologists.

This blog is open source and the code is available on GitHub. Feel free to explore how it's built or suggest improvements.
