Birth of a new member of the family

Over the last year my blog has lacked the love I wanted to give it. I became too busy with various parts of my life and family, and less I wrote. None of my series are any good anymore. I've not done much experimentation as I used to. I have fallen behind what I wanted to achieve with this website. I have switched jobs to join this exciting company Nextopia Software Corporations. It is a company that is at the forefront of helping e-commerce clients achieve greater and greater success.

I loved working at Keek Inc. It has been a wonderful experience working at Keek, but reality of the matter is, Keek wasn't profitable. As much as I enjoyed my time there, I had a family to take care of. So with a heavy heart, I had to say goodbye to some of the best people I have ever worked with. Thanks a lot to the Keek team for welcoming me into your world, and teaching me some amazing things.

I also went for a visit to my wife's home in Bangladesh. Despite all the bad news coverage lately, it is a country of great people and beautiful farmlands (outside of the main city off course). My son quite enjoyed a visit to his grandparent's house. The house my wife grew up in.

Just before I went for the visit though, I got a surprise news that I have another child on the way. On July 2016, my daughter was born. Eliana Armin Hasan was a wonderful healthy baby girl.

I made myself quite busy with family in the past year, along with job switch, and other life I have neglected this blog and a few other things in my life. For those of my readers of this blog, thanks very much for keeping in touch here. I will be slowly rebuilding my site and blog out in the coming months in order to be a better reflection of who I am right now, rather than who I was. When I began this blog, I was in many ways a different person with different priorities. It no longer reflects my current personality and priorities. So The direction I will be going will reflect that eventuality.

New Decade: What clients want - the quest for Beauty, Functionality or User Experience

Happy new year everyone, welcome to the new decade. My career now sits at over a decade and a half old.  I have done freelance and quite a bit of work for companies as full time developer.  I have learned from some of the greats and had the privilege of working with some of them too. I am still stumped by one of my greatest mysteries in my career.  It's basically what the customer really want.  I have found that to be the single biggest reasons for failure of a project.  Failure to understand what the customer really want and to get them to agree to a single set of requirement. Let me preface the paragraph above.  It's not really their fault that they don't understand what they want.  Software that does essentially the same thing works very differently in terms of user interface and user experience.  Most common example of this is how gmail worked vs good old fashioned outlook.  Essentially the same idea as far as email sending and rece...

Long time no post

Hello, howdy and salutations. I've not blogged in a very long time.  I wanted to get back into the habit.  I have grown tremendously in the past few years.  My daughter is now 3.  The last post I had was her birth.  Now she is one of the smartest kids I know.  She asks questions that most adults are afraid to ask, which makes me both afraid and proud of her. I've also gone through a great journey at Nextopia Software Corporation.  I've been through the creation of biggest platforms in the company's history (we called it the Watson Engine).  I have worked tremendously from old day of Monolith physical boxes to virtual boxes, to containers and even serverless. I have been part of building out the team at Nextopia over the 4 year journey and have met some amazing devs whom I have been proud to work with. Like every family though sometimes the careers of people lead them down different path.  This is what ultimately happened at Nex...
