About Have a Sip
"Software engineering moves quickly.
This little corner doesn't."
Have a Sip began as a quiet habit of writing down the lessons I didn't want to forget.
Here, I share what I learn about backend engineering, system design, debugging, and the small moments that make building software meaningful.
This isn't a place for perfect answers. It's a journal of curiosity, steady progress, and the joy of learning one sip at a time.
About Me
Hi, I'm Ella
I'm a computer science student who enjoys building thoughtful software and learning through personal projects. I'm especially interested in backend engineering, system design, and creating applications that are both reliable and enjoyable to use.
I created Have a Sip as a place to document my journey, share debugging stories, and reflect on the lessons I discover along the way. It's less about having all the answers, and more about learning one step at a time.
Why Have a Sip?
Learning isn't about finishing everything at once. It's about slowing down enough to enjoy the process— one concept, one project, and one conversation at a time.
Every article here is one small sip of that journey.
Still learning.
Still building.
One sip at a time.
