Quantum-centric HPC starts with user enablement
Quantum-centric HPC adoption is a user-enablement problem first. Hardware access alone does not produce useful workloads. Portable runtimes and schedulable resources do.

Recreating Gandalf by Lakera
Rebuilding Lakera’s Gandalf prompt-injection game with a plain LLM to make failure modes concrete and highlight input/output controls.

Microservices are technical debt
When microservices help, when they hurt (always), and how to avoid a distributed monolith by defaulting to a modular monolith.

Not just GenAI: difficulty of productionising deeptech
AI productization fails when demos are mistaken for systems. Adoption slows when evaluation, data boundaries, and cost controls are missing. Build operating discipline to make prototypes reliable.
Read the postMicroservices are technical debt
Microservices technical debt accumulates quickly. Weak domain boundaries create a distributed monolith with heavy coordination costs. Default to fewer interfaces until scale proves service splits.

Read the postThe Importance of Shipping Early, Often and Incrementally in Software Products Supporting Deep Tech
Shipping early in deep tech reduces execution risk. Waiting for full clarity creates demo-ware and long feedback loops. Deliver thin end-to-end slices to validate constraints early.
Read the postGenerative AI security-II
Prompt injection defenses must be operational. Treating LLMs as untrusted components exposes controls needed for policy, cost, and audit. Build gateway guardrails before scaling AI features.

Recreating Gandalf by Lakera
Prompt injection becomes obvious in Lakera’s Gandalf game. System prompts alone fail once user text is treated as trusted context. Test reinjection paths to design safer LLM interactions.
Read the postGenerative AI security
LLM security starts with prompt trust boundaries. Prompt injection and multimodal inputs bypass instruction-only defenses. Add controls on inputs, tools, and outputs to reduce exploitability.
Read the postThe Future of Travel Tech: How AI is Shaping the Journey Ahead
Travel tech ecosystem complexity breaks naive AI plans. Search, pricing, inventory, and support pipelines conflict in practice. Set tight system boundaries so AI improves outcomes.

Power of abstraction
Abstraction and performance are not enemies. Clean interfaces fail when data layout and optimization boundaries are ignored. Place optimizations at the right layer to keep code fast and maintainable.

Read the postArchitecting new projects
Project architecture starts with iterative requirements. Treating greenfield design as one-shot creates brittle code and stakeholder drift. Use small PoCs to align scope, ownership, and evolvability.
Read the postIEEE QCE impression
Quantum software architecture debates at IEEE QCE are maturing. Performance, usability, and quality attributes still get mis-scoped. Use clearer boundaries to make trade-offs explicit.
Read the postISC-HPC impression
Quantum-HPC integration at ISC-HPC shows real momentum. European programs still miss near-term algorithm work and rush standards too early. Focus on deployable workflows to improve impact.
