Vector Search Algorithms from scratch
Billion vectors, millisecond queries. How IVF and HNSW make the impossible fast, built from scratch.
I'm Mohan Rajendran, a Senior Software Development Engineer at Amazon. I build large-scale distributed systems, work with GenAI applications, and solve complex problems in cloud infrastructure.
This is where I share what I learn — technical deep-dives, solutions to challenging problems, and my journey through computer science fundamentals. I believe in learning in public.
