Limit order book reconstruction from NASDAQ ITCH feeds — message types, snapshot vs delta, lock-free L3 book in C++/Rust, and a 2026 reference architecture.
Build a robotics telemetry visualization pipeline with Rerun.io — log SDK in Python and Rust, time-series + 3D, ROS 2 bridge, and the 2026 alternative to RViz and Foxglove.
How modern TSDBs work internally — storage engines, compression, hypertables, columnar vs row-oriented, and which to choose for IoT, APM, or financial workloads.
Technical comparison of Terraform, Pulumi, and Crossplane — state models, language flexibility, Kubernetes-native vs imperative, drift detection, and real-world trade-offs.
How Kafka tiered storage works under the hood — KIP-405 design, remote log segments, S3 integration, latency trade-offs, and cost-optimized retention patterns.
How modern humanoid robots are engineered — whole-body MPC, VLA models, safety envelopes, sensor fusion, and the real-time stack behind Figure 02 and Tesla Optimus.
