The resurgence of design thinking in enterprise software development might seem paradoxical in an era dominated by AI-generated solutions and automated workflows. Yet after two decades of building products across startups and Fortune 500 companies, I’ve never seen human-centered design principles more critical than they are today. The tools have changed dramatically, but the fundamental […]

Read more →Security as Code: Why DevSecOps Is No Longer Optional in 2025
The traditional approach to security—treating it as a final checkpoint before deployment—has become a liability in modern software delivery. After two decades of building enterprise systems, I’ve witnessed the painful evolution from “security as an afterthought” to “security as code.” In 2025, DevSecOps isn’t just a best practice; it’s a survival requirement for any organization […]
Read more →Privacy-Preserving AI: Techniques for Sensitive Data
Last year, we trained a model on customer data. A researcher showed they could reconstruct customer information from model outputs. After implementing privacy-preserving techniques across 10+ projects, I’ve learned how to protect sensitive data while enabling AI capabilities. Here’s the complete guide to privacy-preserving AI. Figure 1: Privacy-Preserving AI Techniques Overview Why Privacy-Preserving AI Matters: […]
