In this podcast, I talk to Austin from R3 talks about technical aspects of R3 Corda including its architecture, consensus, programming model, etc. We also touch upon the future direction of R3 Corda (focusing on the Year 2019). This is a high-level talk with focus on covering the basics for someone who is new to DLT/blockchain.
This is the second post in a multi-part blog series on Kubernetes DevOps using Azure. I am co-authoring this series with the help of my colleague at Microsoft, Daniel Selman. We recently worked on the Kubernetes project together and thought to share our learnings. In the last post, you got to better understand the application that was going to be deployed in […]

On 21st February, I will be conducting an event at Microsoft NYC campus on building and running a fully functional blockchain based audit trail application. The first half is a good fit for both business and technical audiences, as it covers auditing scenarios using blockchain. The latter half will showcase an open source project that provides tracking of Wikipedia change […]
R3 Corda is a blockchain-inspired distributed ledger technology (DLT) from R3 that is specifically designed for financial and regulated transactions, and emphasizes privacy and security between participants. While it is generally available for download as open source code (corda.net), R3 also makes it available on the Azure platform and has plans to integrate Corda with numerous Azure capabilities.

I was recently exploring methods for improved privacy using various encryption schemes and stumbled upon Homomorphic Encryption that has a huge potential in that area. I do feel that it has higher barrier to entry considering the complexity and level of maturity it has today. If you’re looking for learning resources/libraries to get started on it take a look at Git repo that I have created for […]
For an upcoming developer event on Docker I had to create handful of Linux Ubuntu virtual machines on Azure with Docker and few additional software installed on it. I looked into couple of ways to to do that on Azure in a consistent fashion. The first option was to use DevTest labs and use artifacts. Another option is to use Custom […]
Some of you may already be aware that I host NYC MS Cloud User Group technology meet up every month at Microsoft Manhattan campus.This month, I will be hosting/presenting alongside with my colleague Cale Teeteron blockchain.I did a similar session earlier this year in January and turnout was great and based on feedback doing another session in July. Here is the […]
Recently I did a video series for Microsoft Channel9 on DevOps with Containers (thanks to Lex Thomas and Chris Caldwell for recording these). The idea was simple- show and tell how container technology can help in improving the DevOps experience. It’s a ~2-hour long recording (divided into three parts for easy viewing) covers topics including containerization of applications, continuous integration and deployment […]
Since last year, I have been spending time with customers understanding how blockchain can help them improve/replace existing processess. Its relatively a new technology but evolving very fast. Anyways, recorded an hour long video session First Look Into Blockchain for Channel9. Its predominately focus on blockchain from developers perspective. [0:57] What is Blockchain? [2:14] How is this different than a standard distributed database? [5:16] DEMO: […]
