If you think Agile is a one-size-fits-all solution, think again. Many teams adopt Scrum or Kanban without realizing that team size, criticality, and project complexity should influence how you work—not just blindly follow ceremonies. That’s where Crystal Methodology shines. Crystal is a lightweight, adaptive Agile framework that evolves based on your team’s context. It doesn’t…

This paper introduces a novel approach to signal amplification in acoustic microscopy, leveraging high-dimensional recursive filtering (HDRF) to overcome limitations of conventional signal processing techniques. HDRF recursively compresses and reconstructs acoustic signals within exponentially increasing dimensional spaces, enabling amplification of subtle features undetectable by existing methods. We project a 20% improvement in resolution and a…

What Is a Task? A Task in Swift is a container for code that runs independently without freezing the app. While one task downloads data from the internet, another can update the screen simultaneously – keeping the app responsive. Tasks enable multiple operations to happen at the same time rather than waiting for each one…

Introduction In today’s DevOps-driven software lifecycle, security must be integrated into every phase of the development process—not just at the end. This approach is often referred to as “shift-left security.” One of the most critical places to enforce security is within the CI/CD pipeline, where code is built, tested, and deployed. Azure DevOps Pipelines offer…
