Learning Through Real Problems
We start every topic with a real problem that systems programmers face. Why does this web server handle only 100 concurrent connections? How do databases maintain consistency during crashes? What makes some algorithms scale and others fail?
"The best way to understand systems programming is to see what breaks when you don't do it right—then learn why it breaks and how to fix it."
Our curriculum progresses from fundamental concepts to advanced topics over 12 months. Each module includes hands-on projects where you'll build actual systems: a memory allocator, a simple database, a concurrent web server. By the end, you'll understand not just how to use these technologies, but how they work internally.
Classes start in September 2025, with applications opening in June. We limit each cohort to 24 students to ensure everyone gets individual attention during the challenging portions of the program.
