What I Learned Building a Real-World Mobile App with Flutter

I actually met Flutter a bit before my internship, but that exposure was quite limited. The internship was my first chance to use Flutter in a real project — I worked on the frontend, building different screens and shared components while adapting to the existing project structure.

I Built a Text-to-SQL System. The Hard Part Wasn't the SQL.

How I built a natural-language database assistant that refuses dangerous queries, checks its own answers, and tells you how much to trust them — I wanted to show more than "I can call an API," but that I think about what happens after the model gives an answer.

ViT vs Swin Transformer: Global Attention vs Windowed Attention — A Small Experiment on CIFAR-10

In the first post of this series, ConvNeXt kept coming back to one comparison point: Swin Transformer. This post asks a more basic question: what made Swin necessary in the first place, when Vision Transformer already existed a year earlier?

ResNet-50 vs EfficientNet-B3 vs ConvNeXt-T: A Small Transfer Learning Experiment on CIFAR-10

Most people pick a backbone the same way: whichever one shows up first in a tutorial, or whichever one "everyone" seems to be using. I ran a controlled experiment instead — same dataset, same hyperparameters, three backbones trained side by side so it would actually mean something.

DenseNet: The Network Where No Layer Forgets Another

In ResNet, each layer talks directly only to the one before it. But what if every layer talked directly to all the layers before it? That is exactly the idea DenseNet is built on, and it won the Best Paper Award at CVPR 2017.

ConvNeXt: A ConvNet Wakes Up in the 2020s

When Swin Transformer arrived, there was a feeling in the air: the future of computer vision belonged to attention. A group of researchers at Facebook AI Research asked a simple but uncomfortable question: do these gains really come from attention — or from everything else around the Transformer?

AlexNet: The Architecture That Started the Deep Learning Revolution

Almost everything we talk about today — Vision Transformers, ResNet, YOLO, segmentation models, even the giant networks that generate images — traces back to a single moment in 2012, when AlexNet won the ImageNet competition by such a wide margin that computer vision changed direction overnight.

The Power of Dying Young: PHP's Blueprint for Scalable Backend Architecture

I've been writing Java and Go for a while now. Both languages taught me to think of a backend service as a living process that stays alive waiting for the next request. Then I started learning PHP, and I had a genuinely confusing moment.

Middleman of the Network — Forward and Reverse Proxy

The first rule of modern backend design is simple: never connect your server directly to the internet. This is where Proxy Servers come in — sitting between the client and the server, filtering traffic and distributing the load.

How a Single Line of Code Crashed the Internet: Cloudflare, Rust, and the Infamous unwrap() Error

On November 18, 2025, the internet suddenly had a big problem — popular apps like ChatGPT, Spotify, and X stopped working. Everyone thought it was a cyber attack, but the real reason was a very specific technical detail: the unwrap() function in the Rust programming language.

From HTTP to HTTPS: How I Secured My Java Spring Boot Backend with TLS

When you're close to deploying your backend, one of the most important questions suddenly hits you: "Wait… how secure is my API really?" I was using plain HTTP, which meant that all the sensitive data in my request headers, including my JWT token, was being sent in clear text over the network.
