UX Research for Agile AI Product Development of Intelligent Collaboration Software Platforms

The rush to adopt AI collaboration tools has created a paradox. Teams deploy intelligent assistants, LLM-powered meeting summarizers, and AI-driven project management features at record speeds, yet few organizations systematically measure whether these tools genuinely improve collaboration.

What I Learned from Scanning Dozens of Small Government Websites (and Why the Same Bugs Keep Coming)

Legacy CMSes, tiny IT teams, and the same five security mistakes on repeat. Most of the security work I do is not glamorous. There are no red team hoodies, no zero-days, no dramatic “we hacked the mainframe” moments. Instead, there’s a lot of curl, headers, and very old PHP. I’m based in Chicago and I’ve … Read more

The AI Agent Reality Check: What Actually Works in Production (And What Doesn’t)

As we close out 2025, everyone’s been calling this “the year of AI agents.” But here’s what nobody wants to admit: most of these agents aren’t actually working.

Why Your Product Is Scaling Faster Than Your Story Can Handle

When narrative throughput lags system throughput, scale turns breakable. Most teams expect scaling problems to show up in familiar places. Infrastructure starts to strain. Hiring gets messy.

SASE Meets Edge AI: Why Security Will Be Decided in the First Millisecond

Enterprise security is shifting to the edge, where the first millisecond of every connection determines trust, performance, and risk. Traditional SASE cannot keep pace with encrypted traffic, global latency, and attacker speed. Edge AI changes the model by making sub-millisecond, context-aware decisions directly at ingress, turning security into an instantaneous, distributed judgment system.
