How about that new Google login screen?

I’m unsure what to think about it. But it doesn’t seem like it was ready for Production.

Why I love London

I am recently back from my second-ever trip to London and the city is as amazing as I remember it from the first one.

Blogdynamic v2 now in Beta!

It’s time I tried some new stuff with this blog’s theme, without forgetting the original philosophies behind it.

2024 is here

Inclusion In Tech: Are We Doing Enough About Ageism?

Later this month, I’ll be turning 28. It’s strange to think now that I had started learning English when I was 8 – this means that was 20 years ago. A fifth of a century. It makes me feel… Old. See, at this point in my life I am at […]
