I'm Dylan Satow, a software engineer at AWS working on Amazon MSK (Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka) where I spend my time deep in distributed systems. I graduated from Columbia with a degree in Math & CS. I came up through ML research (non-Euclidean representation learning and mechanistic interpretability) and still care about it, but these days I'm a software/systems engineer first, with that ML background layered on top.

This site is built with SvelteKit and Tailwind CSS in a Catppuccin Mocha theme, designed to feel like a focused window in a tiling window manager. I chose Svelte to skip the VDOM overhead while keeping boilerplate-free reactivity, and every page is prerendered to static HTML for instant loads.

It's keyboard-driven if you want it to be: h/l switch sections, j/k move, Enter opens, ? shows help. Don't know vim? Just scroll, tap, and click — everything works the normal way too.
