Erol Umut Atalay  • Peerlist

<ul><li>I built this project to get a stronger grasp of low-level system concepts. While researching, I realized Java would be a practical choice for implementing it, even though I hadn’t used Java before. So I learned the basics quickly and then moved on to building the project.</li><li>As I worked, I dug into how the Linux file system is organized and how the kernel interacts with it, which helped me plan the architecture more clearly. I started by creating a database-like layer that virtualizes the physical file system, and then added an abstraction layer on top to make communication with that system cleaner and easier to extend.</li></ul>

RaidSphere

<ul><li>I built this project to better understand how Redis and database systems communicate. I started by reading the Redis protocol documentation and chose JavaScript as the fastest way to prototype and experiment.</li><li>At first I checked a few existing implementations, but most were more complex than what I needed, so I decided to build a minimal version from scratch. After revisiting the protocol docs, everything clicked more clearly, and I implemented a server that follows the protocol. Once the core commands were working, I added tests and verified that the server behaved as expected.</li></ul>
