Databricks Architecture Icons

If you have ever tried to draw an architecture diagram that includes Databricks products, you know the drill. You open the Databricks website, you right-click a hero image, you get a PNG at the wrong size, you give up and use a generic database cylinder. The official artwork exists, it just is not packaged for the tools people actually diagram in. So I packaged it: https://oieduardorabelo.github.io/databricks-architecture-icons/ Databricks Architecture Icons is a community set of 71 products ac

Image Resizer That Runs Entirely in Your Browser

Hi everyone! :) Happy to share my first project, which I've been designing and developing over the last few days! I've created the website resize-photo.com which is a fast, simple, and completely free tool for resizing images directly in your browser, without relying on a backend server to process the images. The entire resizing process happens locally in your browser. This means that your images are not uploaded to or stored on a server, giving you more control over the privacy of your data. I

Architecting a Low-Power GPS Geofencing Engine for Android

It was the middle of a Friday afternoon, and I was sitting in the front row of the prayer hall. The room was deathly quiet, filled with the soft hum of concentration. Then, it happened. A high-pitched, synthetic ringtone pierced the silence. Everyone jumped. I felt my face flush with heat as I frantically scrambled to silence my phone, realizing I had completely forgotten to mute it before entering. It was a small, three-second incident, but the embarrassment felt like it lasted for an hour. Tha

I Built a Firewall for AI Agent Spending — Here is the Architecture

At 3 AM, My AI Agent Spent $2,800 in 60 Seconds. Here's What I Built to Stop It. August 11, 2026 At 3 AM last Tuesday, an AI agent I built made 21 API calls to a premium LLM endpoint. Each call cost $133. That's $2,800 gone in 60 seconds — while I was asleep. The budget alert email arrived at 6:14 AM. By then, the agent had already moved on to its next task, oblivious to the damage. This is the dark side of autonomous AI agents. They're powerful, fast, and relentless — and they can drain your
