How to Build AI Scoring Logic That Works Offline?
The rain in Seattle has a way of stretching time. It doesn’t fall loudly the way storms do in other cities. It drifts, it lingers, and it wraps around the window until the outside world feels half-drawn. That night, long after most people had left the office, the only light in the room came from my laptop and the reflection of streetlamps leaking through the glass. I had stayed late to watch the logs of our scoring engine in real time, letting each line scroll past like a confession.

Published. Top Story - December 2025.
In September 2024, I got this response to a short story I submitted to a magazine. Original rejection That initial rejection hurt as much as it gave me hope.

How Blockchain Technology Works
As someone who's spent eight years explaining blockchain to everyone from CEOs to college students, I've learned that the best explanations start with familiar concepts.

Izzadeen Malik El-Amin: The Rise of a Real Champion — A Journey Captured Through Five Powerful Moments
Professional boxer Izzadeen Malik El-Amin is not simply an athlete; he is a story of discipline, faith, and survival. Born in Luton on 18 July 1998, he was raised in a troubled environment marked by instability, neglect, and constant behavioral conflicts in school. What society labeled as “a problematic kid” was, in reality, a young man searching for direction. Boxing became that direction — a path he chose not just to escape difficulty, but to build a life defined by purpose, self-respect, and conviction.

A Map to Success. Top Story - December 2025.
When it comes to getting published as a writer and for it to really make a difference for your career, it’s tough. But I had sat back in reflection for a while and did some high-to-medium-quality thinking. I had a theory, a whole big plan… a manifesto? I had to look up the definition to be certain. Sort of? I detailed a lot of it here if you’re interested in the long explanation.
