Hi #

I am Yao Meng (孟爻). You can also call me by my nickname MrCroxx (叉鸽).

I’m a Software Engineer specialized in Distributed Storage Systems.

I enjoy exploring a variety of technical topics, including databases, distributed systems, storage, performance optimization, kernels, open source, and many more…

Beyond tech, I’m passionate about movies 📽️ and enjoy beer 🍺.

Welcome to share your favorites.

Chinese Blog (Legacy) #

I used to write technical articles in Chinese on 叉鸽 MrCroxx 的博客.

There were some great articles about etcd/Raft, LevelDB, blotdb, and paper readings.

But now I prefer to write in English here.
