Introduction to streaming for data scientists
As machine learning moves towards real-time, streaming technology is becoming increasingly important for data scientists. With luck, as a data scientist, you shouldn’t have to build or maintain a streaming system yourself. Your company should have infrastructure to help you with this.

Vector graphics on GPU
A general approach to rasterization and how we can ask for help from GPU when rendering vector paths.

Platform Engineering KPIs
Platform as a product is becoming an increasingly popular approach to building internal platforms in engineering organisations. While software-driven companies are competing for market share, there is another, more subtle competition on the rise: who can enable their engineers to ship new features fastest; who has the most effective internal platform? In this post, we will share our approach to building out KPI trees for our platform engineering teams at Wise (formerly TransferWise).
