Recently I wrote an internal blog post at work titled On the traps of working from home. While the content isn’t new it was triggered by the recent events around COVID-19 and the fact that all of a sudden the whole company was working from home, distributed across multiple timezones. I was worried that we may default to having more meetings instead of better communication and writing this post was my attempt to share how I tend to deal with distractions.

I recently wrote an article on our company blog where I explained how we evaluate Machine Learning models at RecordPoint – if you haven’t read it yet, I’d recommend you do so before proceeding. Since its publishing, I received a number of comments asking me to clarify the concepts presented with concrete examples. The original article is light on code by design as the audience for the company blog isn’t always that technical.

Early last week I had the chance to attend the Symposium on Blockchain and Distributed Ledger Technology organised by UNSW. I wasn’t aware that UNSW was so heavily involved in the community until this event and have since learned about their interest group which has been going on for a while. The talks had a healthy mix of research and industry case studies with subjects ranging from the technical challenges of current blockchain implementations to the legal implications of distributed ledger technology.
