| What we can learn from the World's Biggest Heists | NDC Security 2026 | 2026-03-02 |
Three recent heists trace a clear pattern: the Ronin bridge where Ronin bridge validators (9 total, 5 to sign) are weakened because Sky Mavis controls four… | ||
| Agile is a Dirty Word | NDC Oslo 2020 | 2020-06-08 |
Argues that organisations saying they’re “doing Agile” usually practice ritualised, cargo‑cult process rather than outcomes, and labels Scrum/SAFe examples of… | ||
| Shor's Algorithm is Scary NOW | NDC London 2020 | 2020-01-27 |
A Q# implementation simulates Shor to factor 21 and a colleague’s Q# run factors 35 while a hand-built spreadsheet traces period finding to factor 1517… | ||
| RSA is Dead. Long Live BB84! | Devoxx Belgium 2019 | 2019-11-04 |
Claims that Shor’s algorithm will break RSA are grounded in a demonstrated Q# implementation and an example where factoring 1517 uses the period of 14 (period… | ||
| Agile is STILL a Dirty Word! | Devoxx Belgium 2019 | 2019-11-04 |
Agile becomes a dirty word because organizations standardize processes, hide failures in long test cycles and create “risk management theater,” leaving teams… | ||

Quantum factorisation moves from theoretical to practical: Shor’s algorithm is implemented on a quantum simulator and has been used on real quantum computers… | ||
| Real Quantum Computing | NDC Porto 2019 | 2019-02-26 |
Demonstrations use the IBM Q Experience (5‑qubit Tenerife/Yorktown) and a local simulator with Microsoft Q# to show real runs and limitations: a Schrödinger’s… | ||
| Is Quantum Computing Really a Thing? | DevConf 2018 | 2018-09-26 |
Overview of current reality: real devices live in the cloud (the IBM Q Experience queue) but have few qubits and very limited gate depth because qubits… | ||
| Microservices are Not Worth the Trouble!!?? | Agile on the Beach 2018 | 2018-07-12 |
