About DevTales

Hi there, I’m Suhan Bangera — a software engineer with a deep interest in the layers most people never look at.

DevTales is where I write about low-level systems: memory models, compilers, runtimes, operating systems, and the machinery that makes higher-level abstractions possible. If I’ve spent time understanding how something actually works under the hood, there’s probably a post here about it.

What You’ll Find Here

• Compilers and language runtimes — how code goes from text to execution
• Memory models, allocators, and the costs we usually abstract away
• Operating system internals — scheduling, syscalls, virtual memory
• Systems programming in C, Rust, and wherever the hardware meets the software
• Database internals and storage models — B-trees, LSM trees, WAL, buffer pools, and how databases actually persist and retrieve data
• Deep-dives with working code and benchmarks, not just theory

The Stack Behind This Blog

DevTales itself is a living example of the things I write about. It’s built with:

• Astro — static site generation with zero client-side JS by default
• Tailwind CSS 4 — utility-first styling
• Cloudflare Pages — global edge deployment
• Cloudflare Workers — serverless functions for dynamic features
• Pagefind — client-side full-text search without a backend

The source is based on the excellent AstroPaper theme. Everything on top is mine to break.

Also Writing Fiction

If code isn’t your only interest, I also write stories — folk horror, literary fiction, thrillers, and more — over at Vicitales, my literature blog. Serialized fiction, character-driven narratives, and a very different kind of reading experience.
