Julian's Notes

I never cared about wealth growing up.

For a while, I struggled with the right name for this article.

Today is my last day as a software engineer at Moniepoint.

The current global economy incentivizes organizations to hoard data for competitive advantage.

You’ve probably come across the saying, “You can’t manage what you can’t measure”.

When choosing a name for this note, I wanted something clickbait-ey and provocative.

Change Data Capture (CDC) is a technique used to track and capture changes made in a data source, typically a database, and utilize those changes in various downstream systems or processes.

In my previous post, I discussed the Microservices architecture and the process of decomposing a business domain into constituent services.

In today’s rapidly evolving software development landscape, staying competitive and keeping up with user demands is more critical than ever.

Integration testing is an important part of any software development process.

A major requirement in developing a non-trivial software product is the establishment of a formal workflow for Continuous integration and Continuous delivery.

My favorite Nigerian songs for the year 2022.

I saw an ad by Amazon hosting job interviews for Nigerian engineers who wish to relocate to the US, Canada, or Ireland.

I continue to expound on reactive programming concepts in this note, by diving deeper into the reactor module.

My foray into reactive programming began sometime last year.

I couldn’t think of a better title for this note.

For as far back as I can remember, I have always prioritized the pursuit of knowledge.

2021 was a stellar year for Nigerian music with Afrobeats gaining more global recognition.

As I stared at the wallet balance on my Bundle app, I couldn’t help wondering what was going on.

For the past few months, I haven’t written any new articles.

Some time ago, I found myself ruminating on a pertinent question; one I have asked myself multiple times.

Quite recently, I started dabbling in Recommender Systems.

Anyone who has followed Nigerian music over the years can acknowledge it has come a long way.

The first note in this series gave an introduction to the K- Nearest Neighbour algorithm.

Much of Machine Learning involves finding and exploring patterns in data.

Throughout last week, I was unable to shake off an overarching feeling of dread.

Java developers will agree that Java 8 felt like a huge paradigm shift from Java 7.

About a few weeks ago, I was mindlessly scrolling twitter when I stumbled on a tweet by Vala Afshar.

Although it’s very possible to code a typical Machine Learning algorithm from scratch, most times we wouldn’t want to do that.

Modern frontend development has really gone far.

The most basic form of machine learning you can do is a Simple Linear Regression.

As technology has evolved over the years, countless systems have sprung up into existence; each system formed on the basis of the intelligent application of knowledge and design principles.

There is always that moment when you hear a good song playing on the radio or in public and you just wish you could know the name of the song.

Before we can get started doing Machine Learning stuff, we need to ensure we have the right environment setup.

The very idea of perfection is the notion that something is without blemish.

The other day I was pondering the topic of Leadership.

Machine Learning is a subset of Artificial Intelligence that applies mathematical models and statistical methods to teach computers to make decisions towards achieving a goal.

Often times, multiple branches exist in a project and incorporate divergent changes.

To recap, a Git commit allow us save a snapshot of our project at a specific point in time.

Now that we have git installed locally, we can start playing around with some of the basic commands.

As you progress through your software development journey, chances are you will grapple with projects that vary in complexity.
