About KernelStories

Welcome to KernelStories.com, a place dedicated to exploring the depths of kernel development, low-level programming, and the art of building powerful, efficient systems software.

Mission

At KernelStories, we believe in sharing knowledge from the trenches of systems programming — the challenges, breakthroughs, and real-world lessons learned while working close to the metal. Whether you are a beginner curious about kernel internals or a seasoned developer looking for fresh insights, we aim to provide clear, practical, and inspiring content to help you grow.

Meet Vivek: The Story Behind KernelStories

Vivek’s journey is a testament to the power of curiosity and perseverance.

Starting his career as a backend API developer, Vivek built robust, scalable web services with modern technologies. Yet, he always felt drawn to the low-level workings beneath the surface — how software truly interacts with hardware.

Driven by this passion, Vivek dove into C and C++ programming, gradually moving closer to the heart of operating systems: the kernel. From learning Linux kernel internals to building custom kernels and exploring device drivers, his journey embodies a transition from high-level abstractions to the core foundations of computing.

Through KernelStories.com, Vivek shares this journey — the successes, the roadblocks, and the deep insights gained — to help others navigate the fascinating world of kernel development.

Happy hacking!
