About

SK — Santosh Katageri

Engineer

I learn engineering by building real systems, and I publish what I learn.

LearnWithSK is my engineering publication — finished articles on the blog and honest working notes in the journal. Everything here starts the same way: I build something real, hit the parts tutorials skip, and write down what I find.

Why LearnWithSK exists

Most engineering learning stops at the tutorial. The parts that actually build capability — designing under constraints, operating a real service, breaking things on purpose, defending the decisions you made — rarely fit into one place.

LearnWithSK is my attempt to fix that for myself and anyone following along:

  • Blog for finished writing: explanations, architecture decisions, and lessons worth keeping.
  • Journal for the working notes — what I'm learning, building, testing, breaking, or reconsidering right now.

What I'm working on now

  • Currently building in public: Build, Break & Operate →
  • Building the habit of publishing — working notes in the journal first, finished pieces on the blog.
  • Designing the first structured course — it ships once the writing habit holds.

How I think about engineering

Application technology is replaceable. Engineering concepts — design, delivery, observation, failure, recovery — are not. Tools change; the reasoning behind them is what transfers.
