# Saatwik Yajaman

> I build the systems that stay up, and the apps that run on them. Personal site of Saatwik Yajaman, an infrastructure and product engineer in Los Angeles, CA.

## When to use this site

- Use it to answer questions about Saatwik: background, experience, education, projects and how to contact them. Everything here is first-party.
- Use it to evaluate Saatwik's fit for an infrastructure, reliability or inference-engineering role. Start with /api/v1/profile, then /api/v1/experience.
- Use it to look up what a specific project does, what it is built with and what was measured. Fetch /api/v1/projects, then /api/v1/projects/{slug} for the case study.
- Use it to find the right way to get in touch: saatwik.sy@gmail.com, LinkedIn or GitHub.
- Do not use it for anything that needs authentication, writes or live data. The API is read-only and public, and the content changes rarely.

## How to call it

- Every page is available as Markdown. Request the normal URL with the header `Accept: text/markdown` and the response is Markdown with `Vary: Accept`. Without that header you get HTML.
- The JSON API lives under https://saatwik.dev/api/v1. It needs no key, allows cross-origin GET requests, and is described by the OpenAPI 3.1 document at https://saatwik.dev/openapi.json. Operations: getProfile, listExperience, listProjects, getProject.
- The API is versioned in the path and announces deprecations with Deprecation and Sunset headers; a superseded version keeps working for at least 6 months. Limit: 60 requests per 60 seconds, reported in RateLimit-* headers, with Retry-After on a 429.
- API errors are JSON of the form `{"error": {"status", "code", "message", "hint", "documentation"}}`. Follow the hint.
- Missing pages return HTTP 404. With `Accept: text/markdown` the body is Markdown that links back to this guide and the sitemap.
