Why High-Deliverability Email is a Systems Problem, Not a Copy Problem

by

When marketing emails fail, they almost never fail loudly. The campaigns are queued. Dashboards look fine. Open rates dip a little, then a little more. Someone suggests testing a new subject line. Another person tweaks send time. What’s actually breaking isn’t copy or creative. It’s trust. And trust erodes quietly. I learned this running marketing … Read more

Beyond Smartphones: Motorola’s Pivot to IoT Security and Smart Home Surveillance

by

For nearly a century, Motorola has been a notable pioneer of communications (producing the first-ever handheld cell phone). As with any tech giant, it’s easy to rest on laurels. However, as of late, Motorola has been allocating resources to smart home security. This innovation and adaptation reflect a broader shift toward device interconnectivity. As homes … Read more

Things I Wish I Knew Before I Started Using DynamoDB

If there’s one database that promises both performance and cost and also delivers, then it’s Amazon DynamoDB. Single digit millisecond latency, fully managed with automatic scaling, pay per use – DynamoDB is genuinely impressive. But here’s the thing, there are rarely any mentions about what happens when your data model doesn’t fit DynamoDB’s worldview, or … Read more

The Transatlantic Divide: When Platforms Become Politics

by

In the previous articles in this series, we looked at digital trust as a progression: we examined trust as a social mechanism, analysed governance as its point of failure, and walked through legitimacy as the condition that determines whether systems endure. This fourth piece extends that shared logic outward, beyond platforms themselves, into geopolitics. A … Read more

The One Latency Metric That Tells You If Your AI Agent Is Actually Smart

by

There’s a question that quietly predicts whether an AI agent will feel sharp or strangely distant: How long does the agent remain misaligned when a new domain term enters the conversation? It sounds almost trivial — a glossary issue, a maintenance task. But in practice, this single latency window reveals more about an agent’s reliability … Read more

From Static Docs to Living Knowledge Graphs: Fixing Engineering Documentation

by

Most engineering teams treat documentation as a manual chore, leading to “knowledge silos” and grueling onboarding cycles. While tools like Notion and Confluence are great for general notes, they fail to capture the “why” behind code automatically. To scale without losing context, teams need a system that treats documentation as a byproduct of work, linking … Read more

JAR vs API Integration: Architectural Trade-Offs in Enterprise Healthcare Platforms

by

Integrating Java and .NET components is a common requirement in enterprise platforms, especially within regulated domains such as digital healthcare. While API-based integration is often treated as the default approach, it is not always the most appropriate architectural choice. Selecting between API-based integration and JAR-based execution is an architectural decision that depends on system boundaries, … Read more
