Why Mojo Changes Everything So here’s the thing – Python is amazing, but it’s painfully slow. You know it, I know it, everyone knows it. Enter Mojo, launched in May 2023 by the brilliant minds at Modular AI. This isn’t just another programming language – it’s Python’s superhero transformation. Created by Chris Lattner (yes, the … Read more
“Data-driven” has become a badge of honor in modern marketing and product development. Dashboards are filled with charts, click-through rates, heatmaps, and A/B results. But in the rush to optimize what we can measure, many brands have lost sight of what they can’t: emotion, hesitation, intent, and trust. In an age when customer behavior evolves … Read more
As AI agents become more autonomous and capable, their role is shifting from passive assistants to proactive actors. Today’s large language models (LLMs) don’t just generate text—they execute tasks, access APIs, modify databases, and even control infrastructure. AI agents are taking actions that were once reserved strictly for human users, whether it’s scheduling a meeting, … Read more
AI Demands a New Security Posture AI Security Posture Management (AISPM) is an emerging discipline focused on securing AI agents, their memory, external interactions, and behavior in real-time. As AI agents become deeply embedded in applications, traditional security models aren’t really up for the task. Unlike static systems, AI-driven environments introduce entirely new risks—hallucinated outputs, … Read more
I built a Gen AI chatbot to search through a vault of internal documents for a financial services firm to enable users with a tool to search, scan, and summarise documents faster. Creating up to 80% efficiency, I adopted Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), embedded documents into the vault (group of directories), and adopted Titan after comparing … Read more
Building for a global audience is no longer a competitive edge—it’s a baseline requirement. Whether you’re shipping a cross-platform mobile app, a complex web UI, or a multi-tenant dashboard, users expect localized experiences by default. And in 2025, localization isn’t just about translating words—it’s about choosing scalable systems that match your product architecture. From hardcoded … Read more
1. The Chatbot That Leaked Client Messages A SaaS integrator stitched together several chat platforms behind a single bearer token to “keep things simple.” One afternoon, a customer‑support bot sent invoices meant for Tenant A to the phone numbers of Tenant B. n Root cause → the shared token had enough scope to act on any tenant; when the job slipped … Read more
In the world of high-performance distributed systems, data serialization frameworks like Google Protocol Buffers (Protobuf) are indispensable. They offer compact binary formats and efficient parsing, making them ideal for everything from inter-service communication to persistent data storage. But when it comes to updating just a small part of an already serialized data blob, a common question arises: … Read more
Imagine this common scenario: you have a binary Thrift blob, perhaps holding crucial transaction data or image metadata, stored in a distributed cache. Suddenly, a single field within that blob needs an update – maybe a transaction status changes, or an image is flagged as sensitive. The catch? You don’t have the Thrift IDL (Interface … Read more
It’s 2025! and you can build an app in 10 minutes. Launch a SaaS in a weekend. Generate logos, copy, landing pages, even pitch decks with a few keystrokes. However, this is a problem: we confuse generating with creating. We call ourselves founders before we have validated a single idea. We spend more time writing … Read more
1 -The Myth of the Neutral Machine In the discourse surrounding Artificial Intelligence, neutrality is often assumed to be a technical goal. It is considered achievable with better data hygiene, more diverse inputs, or refined training sets. This belief, however, rests on a fundamental misunderstanding. AI systems, particularly large language models (LLMs), are not merely … Read more
Here’s a detailed run-through of my Product Hunt launch. What flopped the first time, what paid off the second time, and tips if you’re on a shoestring budget. I built a macOS menubar app called Chunk, a visual time-blocking tool for folks who need an ADHD-friendly way to map out their day. Since I’d never … Read more
“It is advised that this be followed.” n Looks professional. Sounds expert. But who says so? n A physician? A judge? A professor? n No one. Just a statistically plausible machine-generated sentence. Welcome to the Age of Structural Credibility We are entering a phase in AI evolution where machines no longer need facts—or authorship—to be … Read more
Empowering developers to monitor, debug, and optimize Large Language Model (LLM) applications with ease. Why I Built OpenLLM Monitor As LLMs like GPT-4, Llama, and Mistral become the engines behind more products and research, managing and debugging these complex systems has become a new challenge. Existing monitoring tools are often built for traditional applications — they don’t … Read more
Hey everyone! 👋 If you’re a developer or a security researcher, you know the feeling. You’re hours into a problem, you’ve run through all your checklists, and you hit a wall. You lean back and have that all-too-familiar thought: “So, what now?” For the past few months, I’ve been building a project called RAWPA (Rodney … Read more
In this piece, I would like to provide a high-level overview of the practical side of PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard). My goal is to offer tech leaders, fintech managers, and company executives a realistic guide for pursuing certification. Most digital products today operate within financial frameworks. That’s why the need for … Read more

Gone are the days when coding consisted of repetitive, mundane tasks like boilerplate code, syntax trivia, and minor debugging. Now, OpenAI’s Codex has transformed natural language into functional code, bridging the gap between human creativity and machine execution. This has helped free the mental bandwidth of senior developers so that they can focus on designing … Read more
When I first started building AI agents, I made the same mistake most people do: I focused on getting a flashy demo instead of building something that could actually survive in production. It worked fine at first. The prototype looked smart, responded fast, and used the latest open-source libraries. But the minute it hit a … Read more
IoT or the Internet of Things has been in the news for quite some time now, even as AI or Artificial Intelligence has, of late, taken the world by storm. The coming together or convergence of these two technologies promises to usher in a new technological era dominated by what is known as AIoT or … Read more
For decades, air-gapped systems which are physically isolated from external networks have been the last line of defense for high-security environments: nuclear facilities, defense networks, R&D labs, and critical infrastructure. But in 2025, even isolation isn’t enough. Why? Because attackers have learned to blink the data out. Welcome to the covert world of optical data … Read more

By embedding a simple web file manager, developers enable easy, reliable access to internal storage for diagnostics, logging, updates and more. This not only improves the developer’s workflow during development and testing, but also enhances the end-user and field engineer experience by providing a straightforward way to interact with the device’s files.
For too long, revenue leadership has been a theatre of anecdotes. We romanticise closers, celebrate instinct, and rehash war stories about the “deal that changed the quarter.” But behind closed doors, most GTM leaders are flying blind and in fact, chasing outcomes without understanding the mechanics behind them. I’ve had the opportunity to lead and … Read more
