Securing Data Pipelines: Authentication & Authorization

Data pipelines are cool, but have you ever considered their security? It’s probably a yes, because we’ve been hearing news about unauthorized access to systems and data theft for a long time. So, if you’re in this field, you’ve likely thought about the security of data pipelines at least once. So here you are. Yeah, […]

The Curse of Dimensionality: When More Data Isn’t Better

The Curse of Dimensionality is something that catches a lot of people off guard. More data sounds like a dream: better models, more accurate results, and the potential for big wins. But the reality is that piling on more features and data can backfire. Instead of making things better, it can actually make everything worse, […]

WWDC25: Apple’s Private Cloud & New AI Framework

I just finished my Swift article and now I’m releasing another post about the Apple ecosystem. However, that doesn’t mean I’ll be focusing on the Apple ecosystem the whole time; I just wanted to provide an overview of Apple’s AI privacy methods. Apple’s private cloud computing isn’t something new, but it’s also not an old […]

Swift Outside the Apple Ecosystem

I know this article is a bit off-topic from our usual blog content, but I’m really passionate about the Swift programming language and wanted to share my thoughts. Specifically, I want to talk about the future of Swift outside the Apple ecosystem, not just on macOS, iOS, or iPadOS, but in broader areas like server-side […]

Security in Machine Learning Models

Machine learning models are omnipresent, powering recommendation systems, fraud detection, medical imaging, and more. However, while we obsess over accuracy and performance, we often overlook a critical aspect: security. ML models are vulnerable to hacking (as expected), poisoning, reverse-engineering, and exploitation. Alarmingly, many engineers remain unaware of these threats. Therefore, we prepared this article to […]

How the Engagement Ratio Boosted Prediction Accuracy

The model had all the right ingredients: clean training data, carefully selected features, and performance metrics that looked solid on paper. It was designed to predict user retention, and in a controlled evaluation setting, it performed well. But in production, cracks started to appear. Power users were being misclassified as likely to churn. Casual users […]

Logic First, Data Later? Or the Other Way Around? ETL vs ELT

Data doesn’t just magically become useful. Whether you’re building dashboards, feeding machine learning models, or just trying to get a cleaner look at last quarter’s sales, you need data that’s structured, clean, and actually means something. And that’s where transformation comes in, particularly through ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) and ELT (Extract, Load, Transform) processes. But […]

Why Your Model Deceives You With High Accuracy (Overfitting in ML Models)

Let’s be honest. Few things are more misleading in machine learning than a model showing 99% (or even 100%) accuracy because of overfitting. On paper, that number looks great. But just like a first date that feels a little too perfect, something usually feels off. And most of the time, it is. That shiny accuracy […]

The Importance of Data Didn’t Increase, It Was Essential All Along

Let’s talk about data. It’s everywhere right now, right? The term has become synonymous with the tech boom of the 2020s. But here’s the catch, data isn’t something we just discovered. It’s always been essential. The real shift? How accessible it has become today, thanks to the massive strides in AI and machine learning. Before […]
