I find myself stuck to my phone nowadays — it’s a necessary evil that helps me keep on top of my work through a plethora of apps which are no longer a help but rather a necessity. There’s email, Slack, Github, Okta, Google Docs, LinkedIn, WhatsApp, Zoom, SMS and the list goes on. Amongst these, […]
I’ve spent enough time dealing with Java programs to see enough ETL’s and other sorts of command-line based apps implemented in Java. And with these sort of programs came with the realization that more often than not developers opt for the “easy” way out and end up implementing command-line parsing by themselves. This seem to […]
As some of you know, I’ve spent recently a few months in Dubai. While there, thanks to the friends I made there and thanks to the Endeavor network I came in contact with a lot of local tech companies and startups. The techie in me was very curious about the ecosystem so I had quite […]
I’ve tweeted enough about this during the conference itself so you would have seen all of these images before, but if you want a “no subtitles” image-only version here it is — going through the images they actually do tell a story themselves to be fair! Many thanks to Hilton hotel San Jose for hosting […]
So proud to be part of this — and so grateful for such an amazing amazing party!

And I […]
There has been recently increased attention in the media for Uber, after the blog post from Susan Fowler about her terrible (probably a mild term here, I agree) experience while at Uber — and even more so as of today their SVP of engineering stepping down after sexual harassment allegations during his previous job at […]
This quarter Netflix spoiled us with a party themed “The Crown”, following the success of this original series. Apart from the British theme of the decor (noticed the Big Ben?) and the dances we have been spoiled with all the UK classic food — as well as some classic British tunes (Spice Girls, yay!). Photos […]
This is something that every now and then I have to do: check whether either one or all elements of a collection meet a certain criteria. The standard code initially in Java involved a for loop and iterating through the collection explicitly and checking the condition at each step. Then Apache Commons came on with their […]
I came across this article on Tech Crunch today (AI accountability needs action now, say UK MPs) and wanted to share some thoughts on it. It sounds to me like once again Europe, and UK in this case, is getting cold feet about AI and big data and the interesting results this renders sometimes. Because […]
