That is why we started Unblock AI. AI gets more useful when people show what they are building, where it helps, and where it still breaks. A demo is only the start. The harder parts are review loops, security, cost, data access, and knowing when a tool is good enough to keep using. The first Unblock AI meetup happened on 29 April 2026 at Dashlane’s Lisbon office. https://preview.knokio.com/blog/tools-i-use-when-i-travel-for-work/ Thu, 09 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://preview.knokio.com/blog/tools-i-use-when-i-travel-for-work/ I travel a fair amount for client work. A week in Berlin, two weeks in Lisbon, the occasional sprint in a city I’ve never been to. Over time I’ve gotten weirdly specific about the tools that handle the non-work side of being somewhere new: where to eat, how to get around, which neighbourhoods are worth the limited evening hours I actually have. Most of what I’ve tried is either bloated (TripAdvisor, I’m looking at you) or too generic to be useful. https://preview.knokio.com/blog/what-good-consulting-looks-like-2025/ Wed, 01 Oct 2025 10:00:00 +0000 https://preview.knokio.com/blog/what-good-consulting-looks-like-2025/ A lot of consulting still looks the same on the surface: discovery workshops, slide decks, a roadmap, and a promise that things will move faster afterwards. The problem is that modern teams are dealing with a very different reality now. AI is reshaping workflows, cloud costs are under scrutiny, reliability is directly tied to revenue, and product teams are under pressure to ship without creating a bigger mess underneath. That changes what good consulting should look like. https://preview.knokio.com/about/ Wed, 01 Jan 2025 00:00:00 +0000 https://preview.knokio.com/about/ Over 13 years of experience building products from inception to launch, combining product thinking, technical leadership, and hands-on delivery. I’m driven by continuous improvement and by helping teams build better systems, better products, and better ways of working. Over the years I’ve worked across product, infrastructure, backend systems, cloud platforms, and engineering leadership, always with a focus on practical outcomes.

It all began with a need to drink coffee! Over spring, every day, after having lunch in the galley, there was a widespread urge to drink coffee… without having to climb all the way up to the 3rd floor, where the coffee machine was in our old office. Through some volunteering, or lot drawing, process, someone would climb the steps, bring back the coffee and happiness would ensue. https://preview.knokio.com/contact/ Thu, 22 Feb 2018 17:01:34 +0700 https://preview.knokio.com/contact/ If you’re looking for help with AI strategy, SRE/DevOps, cloud infrastructure, product consulting, or team training, this is the right place. Best fit I’m usually most useful when you need one of these: a clear AI roadmap instead of vague experimentation help shipping AI features into a real product better reliability, observability, and cloud operations support untangling product priorities and delivery bottlenecks hands-on training for engineering or product teams What happens next Send a short note with your context, team size, and what you’re trying to improve. https://preview.knokio.com/guide/migrate-from-kissmetrics-to-customer-io/ Sat, 30 Mar 2013 10:18:39 +0000 https://preview.knokio.com/guide/migrate-from-kissmetrics-to-customer-io/ Limetree, like a lot of companies out there, relied on KissMetrics to get insights on users. We tracked lots of events and tried to make sense of them. With all this data there was still one flaw. We could easily segment customers and create useful charts, but we could not reach them. KissMetrics did not help here; the data was fairly closed and there was no API available. I wanted to email customers who had used the service for a few weeks and then stopped. https://preview.knokio.com/jquery/chillout-everyday-player/ Thu, 26 Jan 2012 18:55:00 +0000 https://preview.knokio.com/jquery/chillout-everyday-player/ Last night I launched a new player for the ChillOut Everyday page.

I originally used MySQL for the job but for some reasons it did not correspond to my expectations. The objective for this system is to give hourly social metrics like page fans, page views, posts shares, from Facebook, but also how much likes, shares and tweets the posts from several websites received. This would enable, later, the visualization how page posts, that link to the website content, influence the ecosystem. https://preview.knokio.com/other/working-in-sanoma-media/ Sun, 24 Jul 2011 19:05:20 +0000 https://preview.knokio.com/other/working-in-sanoma-media/ Since May 2011 I am working on Sanoma Media, a subsidiary of Sanoma which operates in 20 european countries and employed over 15k last year.

I think one of the most important features of a framework is its capacity to be expanded. Plugins achieve that gracefully. But there is a problem; plugins, as read on tempdocs, are meant to be packages. I think they can be much more. This is mainly a software design problem. Where they fail Point #1 Cake creates conventions for everything turning controllers, models and views universal. https://preview.knokio.com/jquery/charts-in-jquery/ Sat, 05 Jan 2008 17:31:00 +0000 https://preview.knokio.com/jquery/charts-in-jquery/ Introducing Flotr, a new plugin for jQuery that will simplify adding charts to your pages. Unlike the Google Chart API, this plugin creates and manipulates charts on the fly. This plugin was born from the author’s frustration, Ole Laursen, since other plugins weren’t smart enough. The advantage of this plugin over others is that it automatically adjusts the limits and scales according to the input values. An equivalent plugin, but for Prototype, is Plotr. https://preview.knokio.com/php/magic-objects/ Mon, 20 Aug 2007 13:43:00 +0000 https://preview.knokio.com/php/magic-objects/ Today I’m going to present a function that most of the PHP community doesn’t know about. It falls under the “magic functions”, was included in PHP5, but needs to be defined. In medium-scale projects where we have more than a few files, it’s almost certain that we’ll be using classes and including them from external files. <br></br><br></br> This is a typical example of a simple/complex application. We include our file on every page where we’ll need a database connection and on each of them we instantiate our object. https://preview.knokio.com/css/google-reader-theme/ Wed, 15 Aug 2007 23:33:00 +0000 https://preview.knokio.com/css/google-reader-theme/ John Hicks, a famous English designer, released a skin for Google Reader a few weeks ago.

These tutorials build on a previously-published 5-part series which has now been updated and extended to embrace PHP 5, making parts of it suitable for those of you who already have worked with PHP 4 in the past.

Besides being kind of fun, you’ve probably actually needed to do this at some point and didn’t know how. Imagine a PHP file that would run when the server started (or your locally installed server) and would take care of deleting old forum messages or updating the statistics of a file manager.
