Don’t just vibe code, make SAAS.
One of the most heated debates in the software engineering world today centers around Vibe Coding. Introduced by Andrej Karpathy in February 2025, vibe coding is a conversational programming style where large language models (LLMs) generate code from spoken or written prompts. Karpathy described it like this: “It’s not really coding—I just see things, say… Continue reading

Making your publisher/subscriber app more cloud agnostic using DAPR
Publisher/Subscriber Model Publish/subscribe messaging, or pub/sub messaging, is a form of asynchronous service-to-service communication used in serverless and microservices architectures. In a pub/sub model, any message published to a topic is immediately received by all of the subscribers to the topic. Pub/sub messaging can be used to enable event-driven architectures, or to decouple applications in… Continue reading

PART 1 : Continuously Loading Synthea Patients Data to Azure FHIR API
What is FHIR ? Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR, pronounced “fire”) is a standard describing data formats and elements (known as “resources”) and an application programming interface (API) for exchanging electronic health records (EHR). The standard was created by the Health Level Seven International (HL7) health-care standards organization. FHIR is organized by resources (e.g., patient,… Continue reading

Deploy Machine Learning at scale with Kedro and Cortex.dev
ML model deployment in production is still an area that lacks conformity, nomenclature, and patterns. Aside from few technology companies who started the journey early on, for late adopters of ML practices, it’s pretty much the wild west when it comes to the standards of model deployment. Some other challenges include the culture of data… Continue reading
