About

Hey, I’m Mrityunjay — most people just call me MJ.

I’m a Principal Engineer & Architect based in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Currently I work at FLYR, building Offer & Order Management systems for the airline industry. Before that: bol.com, Navan (B2B travel tech), Magic EdTech, TenMarks Education (acquired by Amazon).

For deep technical writing on software architecture and systems, I publish at Octal Flow.

This site is my personal space: a stream of things I read, watch, and think about — alongside older essays rescued from a decade-old blog.

What’s here

• Stream — a live feed mixing everything: writing, notes, books, films
  • Writing — essays, Substack notes, and blog posts
  • Books — what I’m reading, via Goodreads
  • Films — what I’m watching, via Letterboxd
  • Photos — moments from Instagram
• Posts — archived essays from my old Blogger site, imported and cleaned up
• CV — professional background and experience

How this site is built

For the curious: this site is statically generated with Astro v5 and deployed on Cloudflare Pages. Content is authored in Markdown; the CMS is Decap CMS backed by GitHub. Styles use Tailwind CSS v4, and syntax highlighting is handled by Shiki.

The Stream pulls live data at build time from public RSS feeds (Substack, Letterboxd, Goodreads) and the Substack Notes API. Blog posts were imported from Blogger using a custom migration script that converted HTML to Markdown and downloaded all images locally..
