i start to save

In line with my previous post entitled saving money weekly, I start to save. I want to prove that I can do what I preach. So, I got myself an another account aside from the payroll where the funds will be coming from


Nothing special... just a regular saving account from a local bank.

Happy Saving!

Process Design & Workflow Optimization Using First-Principles Thinking (FPT)

Instead of copying existing process frameworks, let’s break down Process Design & Workflow Optimization from first principles —understanding the core problem it solves and building efficient workflows from the ground up. Step 1: What is a Process? At its most fundamental level, a process is just: Inputs → Resources, data, materials, or people. Actions → Steps that transform inputs into outputs. Outputs → The final result or outcome. A process is optimized when it minimizes waste, reduces friction, and improves efficiency without compromising quality. Step 2: Why Do Processes Become Inefficient? Processes break down when: ❌ Unnecessary steps exist → Extra approvals, redundant checks, or outdated rules. ❌ Bottlenecks appear → A single point slows down the entire system. ❌ Lack of automation → Manual tasks take too much time. ❌ Poor data flow → Information is siloed or delayed. ❌ Overcomplicated workflows → Too many dependencies and unclear roles. To fix i...

Using AI to Reinvent My Résumé and Try to Land an Interview

Creating a résumé is a tedious job to most. It's hard, time consuming and might even be the cause for rejection-if you don't know what you're doing. Fortunately, there are AI tools out there that created to assist, us humans, in generating résumé. It save's time, effort and you get higher chance of being hired.  But what if you're transitioning to an entirely different role? You don't have experience, no educational background to back it up. and no portfolio to show. What do you do? You come up with something creative. You come up with some that has never been done before. And, just wow them... or at least try. I was messaged in LinkedIn for a position that I was eyeing for in years. The HR guy reached out and we scheduled a call interview. We talked for more than half an hour and I was enlightened that my résumé is lack-luster. I was highly considered but the résumé is not at par because I have no job experience on AI, the certifications we're not included,...

Understanding Prompt Engineering Using First-Principles Thinking

Instead of memorizing prompt techniques, let’s break Prompt Engineering down to its fundamentals using First-Principles Thinking (FPT) . Step 1: What is Communication? At its core, communication is the process of: Encoding thoughts into words (speaker). Transmitting words to a receiver. Decoding the words into meaning (listener). Now, let’s apply this to AI. Step 2: How Do Machines Process Language? A Large Language Model (LLM) doesn’t "understand" words the way humans do. Instead, it: Converts words into tokens (mathematical representations). Predicts the next word based on probability. Generates responses that appear coherent based on patterns it has learned. Thus, prompt engineering is not just about writing sentences—it’s about giving instructions that optimize LLM prediction behavior . Step 3: What is a Prompt? A prompt is just an input instruction that guides an LLM’s response. But at the most basic level, a prompt must contain three thin...
