Designing intelligent systems, one layer at a time. ~ Nithin Mohan T K
After two decades of architecting enterprise systems and leading digital transformation initiatives across financial services, healthcare, and technology sectors, I’ve witnessed firsthand how AI and automation are fundamentally reshaping the nature of work. This isn’t merely about replacing tasks—it’s about reimagining entire value chains, creating new categories of roles, and demanding a fundamental shift in… Continue reading
The first time I watched a generative model produce coherent text from a simple prompt, I knew we had crossed a threshold that would reshape how we build software. After two decades of working with various AI and ML systems, from rule-based expert systems to deep learning pipelines, I can say with confidence that generative… Continue reading
Recent past, I had multiple discussions with many tech forums and many people have a misconception about IoT and Cloud. Some think whenever we do something like blinking an LED with Raspberry Pi or Arduino is IoT. I just thought of sharing some of my viewpoints on these terminologies. Internet of Things(IoT) – refers to… Continue reading
We all have been hearing the term Data Science and Data Scientist occupation become more popular these days. I thought of sharing some light into this specific area of science, that may seem interesting for rightly skilled readers of my blog. Data Science is one of the hottest topics on the Computer and Internet nowadays.… Continue reading

Security(Cyber Security) is an essential requirement for any IoT platform or devices or end users and the communication infrastructure. In order to achieve or design best possible security solutions, to avoid some external entity or hacker gaining access to your IoT device or infrastructure, every architect or system designer should do Threat Modeling exercise. As… Continue reading
The Identity of Things (IDoT) is an area involves assigning universal unique identifiers (UUID) with associated metadata to devices and objects (things), to identify, connect and communicate effectively with other machines over the internet or within constrained local network. The metadata included with the UUID characterizes the identity of an endpoint. Identity is an essential… Continue reading
The Internet of things (IoT) is the inter-networking of physical devices, vehicles (also referred to as “connected devices” and “smart devices”), buildings, and other items embedded with electronics, software, sensors, actuators, and network connectivity which enable these objects to collect and exchange data. The IoT allows objects to be sensed or controlled remotely across existing… Continue reading
