In a time were the world is under constant disruption - from our ambitions to venture into space,
Distributed Ledger Technology and the financial system, Machine Learning impacting medicine,
logistics and transport, user experiences, and the development tailored shopping experiences and
more - these revolutions are spurring society faster and further into the future. But in this world of
change and turbulence, how do we sail our ships to find success as we navigate this wide open
landscape of success. This is a topic that I want to explore and it is here that this exploration will
occur.
Welcome to Rise.BlackUnicorn. Here, we are going to talk about emerging technologies with the
aim of getting ourselves ready to not stay abreast with the rising tides but to soar above them. Over the next few months, there are a few topics that I aim to discuss - from the intricate details of the upcoming C++20 release, getting us ready for a modern take on one of the most successful languages ever built, to understanding new approaches and technologies in a sector or two. I will also be discussing ways that you as path makers can navigate spaces and better understand where you are going as well as better ways to help get towards your goals. With these topics, and others down the road, you and I aim to understand what lies ahead and how we can use these emerging technology to our advantage.
My name is Theko Lekena, I am a Software Engineer at Axoni, a leading blockchain infrastructure
company playing a key role in equipping the financial industry with the right tools and infrastructure to succeed in a Blockchain world. But I seek to break down complexity thus uncover the unicorn within us all. As an engineer, what I have always found fascinating was the question of how one gets better at what they do, the craftsmanship. How does one spur their own personal growth and how can one ignite and foster better growth in others as a leader. To achieve this, I have opened my eyes and began to stretch my mind as I poured over new information and content. All in the attempt to better understand what it all means for me and the growth that I seek. I want to bring that insight here.
As we all take this journey, reach out to me and let me know what topics you would like us to explore or if you have any questions about some of the topics and posts we have up and lets Rise together.
