Passionate Software Engineer
Introduction About two years ago, I reviewed the Logitech MX Master 3S in an article titled “Logitech MX Master 3S Review: Enhancing Developer Productivity”. At the time, it quickly became my daily mouse for development work, thanks to its ergonomics and productivity-focused features. Unfortunately, after 2 years and 1 month of daily use, my MX […]
Introduction 2025 is coming to an end and before jumping into new goals and ideas for 2026, I want to take a moment to look back. This year, alongside a full-time job and family life, I continued building software, writing code, and sharing what I learn through my blog and YouTube channel. Mostly on weekends, […]
Why APIs Matter (and Why They Often Feel Slow) Web APIs are the backbone of most modern software systems. They connect mobile apps, web frontends, internal services, third-party integrations, and automation pipelines. If your API is fast and reliable, everything built on top of it feels responsive. If your API is slow or unstable, the […]
Introduction Many developers know how to write code, but not everyone understands how their code fits into a larger system. This is the key difference between a programmer and a software engineer. As you grow into senior or architect roles, it becomes important to see how components connect, how data moves through the system, and […]
Introduction – Why I Built AppReview AI As indie developers, we spend a lot of time guessing why an app performs the way it does.Maybe users love a feature we didn’t expect. Maybe they’re frustrated by something we never noticed. Or maybe a competitor is winning simply because they listened better. In my previous article […]
Introduction Many of us have been there: we start using an external API or library, and over time it becomes deeply integrated across our codebase. Then one day, that library gets deprecated, becomes paid, or introduces breaking changes in a new version. Suddenly, you have to update dozens of files, fix compilation errors, and run […]
Introduction With the release of iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS Sequoia, Apple introduced Foundation Models, a new framework that brings on-device generative AI directly into your apps. These models are part of Apple Intelligence, designed to perform natural language tasks like summarization, text understanding, classification, and creative writing all processed locally on the user’s […]
Introduction When you build an API, it’s important to control how often clients can send requests.Without limits, a single user or app could make too many calls in a short time. This can slow down your service or even make it crash for everyone. Rate limiting helps you prevent this.It defines how many requests are […]
Introduction As a software developer, I’ve always had a smartphone by my side. It’s an incredible tool: I can check emails on the go, receive messages from my family instantly, watch videos while traveling, and use essential apps like banking and two-factor authentication. In short, it feels impossible to live or work without one. But […]
Introduction When you build a web application in ASP.NET Core, every HTTP request and response flows through a pipeline. This pipeline is made of components called middleware. A middleware is essentially a piece of code that can: ASP.NET Core itself relies heavily on middleware. For example: The great advantage is that you are not limited […]
