This concept came up recently during a group discussion with my fellow mentors at Women in Technology event and it got me thinking. How boundaries are the extension and inversion of your values. Though I realise that many people, regardless of their age and experieince, often havent put the time and effort into understanding their…

There’s a quiet shift happening in how we design applications. Not just faster builds. Not just better tools. But a move away from fixed, pre-designed pages… toward experiences that are generated at runtime. That’s where generative pages come in. What are Generative Pages (really)? Generative pages use AI to create and shape the UI and…

Here’s the truth: most people are told networking matters… but almost no one is taught how to actually do it. So what happens? People either avoid it entirely, or they swing too far the other way and come across forced, transactional, or (let’s be honest) a bit annoying. That’s not a personality problem. It’s a…

There’s a common view in tech: once you build an AI model or an agent, the hard part is done. But any technology leader knows the real challenge begins after deployment, especially with Generative AI, where outputs aren’t predictable facts but fluid language and reasoning. That’s why observability (the ability to see, understand, evaluate, and…
