When I started my development journey, backend development felt confusing. Too many languages, too many frameworks, and every blog claimed something different was “mandatory.” Fast forward to today, after working on real products and interacting with backend-heavy systems, I see things much more cl... read more

Most of the images I handle arrive without stories. No names on the back. No dates that feel certain. Sometimes a location is written in pencil, sometimes not. Faces and places pass through my hands briefly before moving on to the next stage of storage. My job is to capture what is there without ad... read more

Let's get this out of the way up front: I’ve been working in IT for about 25 years, and I still Google things all the time. Not in a “haha look at me being relatable” way. I mean constantly. Daily.

Custom directives can dramatically improve code reusability, reduce boilerplate, and make your templates cleaner and more expressive. I... read more

If you’ve built more than a handful of websites or SaaS products, you’ve seen it happen. A client walks in with a confident checklist: “We need live chat, a dashboard, advanced search, a blog, dark mode, notifications, and AI personalization.” You nod. You estimate. You build it.

Health tech is booming, and developers are at the forefront of building personalized wellness applications. Wearables like the Oura Ring provide a treasure trove of data—such as sleep, readiness, and activity—that can power these experiences.
