Apache Kafka
My current work sits close to streaming infrastructure, where correctness and operational clarity matter as much as speed.
Junwang Guo
Also known as Nick.
Backend developer and a lifelong learner.
I like reading different kinds of books, trying things I’ve never done, and collaborating with people to build great things. Currently focused on Java backend tech stacks and always looking for interesting open-source projects to contribute to.
What I Build
I like careful engineering, long-lived systems, and work that still makes sense months later.
Most of my energy goes into backend engineering and distributed systems, but I also use small side projects and writing as a way to test ideas in the open.

How I Think
The way I work is shaped less by hype and more by systems, patience, and clarity.
Stay curious
Books, travel, and conversations outside engineering keep my taste from narrowing too much.
Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.
Beyond Work
Books that have quietly shaped my logic, taste, and the way I see the world.
