No, I don't want to make this post sound like yet another post to underline the importance of Data Engineering to Data Science, there are so many of them on the internet, already! I want to talk about the single most important factor (that I feel), which leads to failures of Data Science projects. Ever since 2017 multiple reports were published...
A job change is a very important event in the career of an engineer. As of today, there is a shortage of good engineers, and also an opportunity to find something that is right for you. Although compensation is an important aspect from a candidate’s perspective, finding a good cultural match is equally important from the long-term perspective. Those who like...

Why would you pay for something, if it is available for free? Customers don’t really pay for a product, what they pay for is a benefit they get by owning or using the product. We have been working on a new #SaaS product which will be sold in a #freemium model. Obviously, the features which are offered for free were developed earlier in the...
Is your product really delivering the promised value? No one will be surprised if this question comes up during the discussions with a salesperson, or a product manager. This value is actually built as a key ingredient of the product and it is equally important for the product developer to understand and assimilate the same while developing a feature. The value...

Getting a passport was tedious and traveling abroad was rare, I was asked by my manager to travel for a trade show in Russia. It was an excellent opportunity to show off our high-performance computers, and...
"Won’t it make sense to build a highly scalable product right up front?", said the Designer. We were discussing the design of a new product that would perform iterative calculations and predict production results for the next three months. An algorithm that existed, was running well and calculating results for one month. It was in use for the past few years,...
"The Journey is the Destination"... I could not find the Zen proverb fitting to a technology solution so well till now as it fits Knowledge Graphs. I won't get into what is a Knowledge graph, because there are tons of articles on the web that explain it in easy ways. The Internet has plenty of information about the advantages of...
You cannot build a skyscraper by putting huts on top of each other. Once a product is built for a specific scale, it is very difficult to scale it beyond a certain point. This becomes a very important point during the building of a new software product. The concept of scale is very well understood in established branches of engineering and...
