Task Sharing Mobile and Web Application 

Posted on by Layana Chandran

Introduction 

Learn how we built a scalable task sharing platform using Flutter, Nest.js, Neo4j, and AI for real-time updates, task prioritization, and seamless collaboration. 

In today’s fast-paced world of digital collaboration, developing a scalable and efficient task sharing platform requires selecting the right technologies. This case study outlines our approach to building a cross-platform mobile and web application using Flutter for the frontend and Nest.js for the backend. The goal was to create a seamless user experience while ensuring scalability, performance, and ease of development. We also integrated cutting-edge technologies like AI and graph databases to enhance the platform’s functionality. 

Project Overview 

This project focused on both web and mobile task sharing app development, with AI integration and UX optimization. We used Flutter, Nest.js, and Neo4j as the core technologies for the project. The development period spanned from February 2022 to November 2022, and we aimed to design a solution that was SME-friendly and capable of growing with future demands. 

Aspect Details 
Services Web and mobile app development, AI integration and UX optimisation. 
Technology Flutter, Nest.js, Neo 4j 
Period  February 2022 – November 2022.  
Budget Designed to be SME-friendly with scalable options for future growth. 

Why Flutter? 

Flutter was selected as the frontend framework for its ability to deliver a consistent experience across both iOS and Android platforms. By using a single codebase, we minimized development time while ensuring that the task sharing app performed well on both platforms. One of the main challenges we faced was designing dynamic task sharing cards that updated in real-time based on user interactions. Flutter’s widget-based architecture allowed us to create reusable components such as the “Task Status Card,” which visually indicated progress with animations and color-coded statuses. 

To manage the app’s complex UI states, we used the Provider package. This was especially useful for screens like the “Task Prioritization” view, where data fetched from the backend needed to dynamically update the UI. We utilized a combination of ChangeNotifier and asynchronous streams for efficient state management. 

Performance optimization was also a priority. Initially, the app struggled with rendering large lists of tasks, which caused jank issues. We resolved this by implementing the ListView.builder widget, along with lazy loading, which ensured smooth scrolling even when handling datasets with over 10,000 tasks. 

Why Nest.js? 

For the backend, we chose Nest.js because of its modular architecture, TypeScript support, and seamless compatibility with GraphQL and REST APIs. Nest.js empowered us to build a scalable and maintainable backend that could support real-time updates and complex business logic. The backend was structured into distinct modules such as User Management, Task Management, Notifications, and AI Integration, making the codebase more maintainable and allowing new developers to onboard quickly. 

One of the key features of the backend was the use of GraphQL. Rather than relying on traditional REST APIs, we implemented a GraphQL layer to optimize data fetching. This was particularly beneficial for screens like the “Dashboard Overview,” where tasks needed to be grouped by various attributes such as status, team members, and deadlines. With GraphQL, we could request only the relevant fields in a single query, reducing the size of payloads and improving response times by 30%. 

We also implemented real-time features using WebSockets. For example, when a user updated a task’s priority, the change was immediately reflected across all connected devices, promoting collaboration for teams distributed across different locations. 

Neo4j Integration with Nest.js 

To manage the complex relationships between users, tasks, and teams, we integrated Neo4j, a graph database, into the Nest.js backend. Neo4j was particularly suited for handling use cases like “Find Related Tasks” or “Suggest Collaborators.” For instance, when a new task was created, the system could suggest potential collaborators based on their past interactions and areas of expertise. 

Initially, querying large datasets in Neo4j led to performance bottlenecks. To overcome this, we optimized our database by indexing frequently queried relationships and utilizing parameterized Cypher queries. These adjustments helped reduce query execution times by 50%. To provide better visibility into task dependencies, we developed a graph visualization tool using D3.js. This tool fetched data from Neo4j and displayed it in interactive node-link diagrams, allowing administrators to quickly identify bottlenecks or overloaded team members. 

AI-Powered Features 

We also integrated AI-powered features into the platform using OpenAI APIs. One notable feature was task prioritization, which leveraged GPT-4 for natural language processing (NLP). Users could describe tasks in plain English, and the system would analyze the input, assign priorities, and suggest deadlines based on the task’s context. 

For more complex tasks, the AI would suggest subtasks based on historical data and predefined templates. For instance, when creating a “Marketing Campaign,” the system would automatically generate subtasks like “Design Graphics,” “Write Copy,” and “Schedule Posts.” 

Additionally, we implemented multilingual support by using OpenAI’s translation APIs. This allowed teams to communicate more effectively by translating task descriptions and comments in real-time, significantly improving collaboration among teams spread across different regions. 

Challenges and Solutions 

Ensuring cross-platform consistency was one of our major challenges. We wanted the UI to look and behave the same on both iOS and Android. To address this, we relied on Flutter’s “Hot Reload” feature to rapidly iterate on designs and utilized the MediaQuery API to ensure that our designs were responsive across different screen sizes. 

Scalability was another concern, especially with the goal of supporting 50,000 active users in the first six months. We deployed the backend on AWS with auto-scaling groups and a load balancer, which ensured that the platform could handle spikes in traffic. Additionally, we optimized database performance by caching frequently accessed data using Redis. 

Managing real-time updates without overloading the server presented a challenge as well. We used WebSocket connections with room-based subscriptions to ensure that only relevant users received real-time updates, minimizing server strain. 

Outcomes and Lessons Learned 

The task sharing platform achieved notable success, with a 40% increase in task completion rates. This improvement was largely attributed to the AI-driven prioritization and the intuitive user interface. 

In terms of development efficiency, the combination of Flutter and Nest.js reduced the estimated development time by 35%, enabling us to deliver the product in just six months. The modular architecture of Nest.js, combined with Neo4j’s flexibility, ensured that the platform was scalable and could handle the growing user base. 

Key Takeaways 

Flutter’s widget-based architecture proves to be a game-changer for cross-platform development, but attention to performance optimization is essential to avoid UI jank. Nest.js, with its modular design and GraphQL support, is an excellent choice for building modern, scalable backend systems. The combination of AI and graph databases opened up opportunities to create innovative features that significantly enhance user productivity and collaboration. 

Conclusion 

Our journey with Flutter and Nest.js showcased the power of modern technologies in delivering high-quality, scalable applications. By tackling challenges creatively and integrating advanced technologies like AI and Neo4j, we built a task sharing platform that stands out in the competitive market. These insights will certainly influence our approach to future projects.

Discover how logistics management and supply chain management evolved from barter to AI-driven automation, shaping modern trade and sustainable supply chains.

The supply chain is the backbone of global trade. It ensures goods flow smoothly from manufacturers to consumers. In fact, supply chain management involves planning, coordinating, and executing all activities related to sourcing, production, and logistics. Today’s logistics and supply chain management uses cutting-edge technology like artificial intelligence and automation. However, the main goal remains the same: delivering products on time and at the lowest cost. This article therefore explores how global supply chain management has evolved from simple barter systems to advanced supply chains driven by AI and sustainability.

Early Supply Chain Origins

In early times, communities primarily relied on barter systems to exchange goods. For example, a farmer might trade wheat for fish from a fisherman. At that time, this basic supply and chain management happened mostly within local communities. Transportation was slow, relying on walking or animals. Moreover, supplies were unpredictable because of seasons and geography. Despite these limits, this early logistics chain management nevertheless laid the foundation for future supply chain operations.

The Silk Road: First Global Supply Chain

Around 200 BCE, the Silk Road connected China, India, the Middle East, and Europe. It was one of the first long-distance trade routes. Consequently, this route enabled the exchange of silk, spices, and metals. Trade extended far beyond local markets. Merchants used camels to cross deserts and ships for sea travel. However, the logistics and supply chain along the Silk Road involved risks such as bandits, storms, and delays. These factors made supply and chain management unpredictable. Still, it marked a major step forward in global supply chain management and cross-border supply chain solutions.

Industrial Revolution and Supply Chain Growth

The Industrial Revolution in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries transformed supply chain management companies and their operations. Factories introduced mass production and produced goods like textiles in large quantities. Additionally, railways and steamships improved transportation speed and reliability. Warehousing became more organised and supported bigger inventories. Even with better transport, supply chain operations still required much manual work. In fact, tracking goods and managing logistics remained difficult.

Modern Logistics and Supply Chain Advances

In the twentieth century, logistics and supply chain management advanced further. For example, standardised shipping containers revolutionised freight handling. They made loading and unloading faster and cheaper. Furthermore, air cargo became important for delivering urgent goods like electronics and medicines. Warehouse management and delivery coordination improved significantly. These changes made supply chain operations more efficient. Yet, companies still faced challenges with customs and international coordination.

21st Century: AI and Sustainable Supply Chains

Today, supply chain management is smarter and more responsive than ever. Advanced supply chain technology and AI play a key role. For instance, real-time tracking lets businesses and customers monitor shipments constantly. Moreover, AI in supply chain management predicts demand, optimises routes, and manages inventory efficiently. Supply chain automation uses robots in warehouses to speed up sorting and packing. At the same time, sustainability and supply chain efforts focus on reducing environmental impact. Companies now use electric vehicles and reduce waste. Leading supply chain companies therefore rely on AI and automation to stay competitive in global supply chain management.

Conclusion: Innovation in Supply Chain Management

From early barter systems to automated, AI-driven logistics, the supply chain has changed greatly. In fact, advances in supply chain AI, automation, and sustainability improve speed, intelligence, and eco-friendliness.

AI Applications: Federated Tables vs RabbitMQ

Posted on by Layana Chandran

Discover how AI applications compare Federated Tables and RabbitMQ for microservice replication, focusing on consistency, scalability, and fault tolerance.

Managing data consistency and replication across microservices is one of the most complex tasks in distributed systems—especially in modern AI applications and platforms for AI. I’ve worked with both federated tables and RabbitMQ in several projects involving AI for business and AI in companies. Each has distinct strengths, limitations, and best-fit scenarios.

In this article, I’ll compare the two, share real-world lessons, and help you choose the right tool—whether you’re building AI apps, running a web AI service, or managing an AI database in a microservice environment.

Understanding Federated Tables in AI Applications

Federated tables let one system access tables from another remote database as if they were local. This setup works well when adapting legacy systems for AI websites or adding online AI capabilities to support real-time AI applications. Found in databases like MySQL, this method allows direct, synchronous access to shared data.

One key advantage is the single source of truth. SQL queries pull real-time data directly from the remote system, making it ideal for reporting dashboards or AI-powered inventory tools.

In one project, a retail system used federated tables to deliver real-time inventory updates to warehouse staff. The system initially performed well. But during peak times like Black Friday, query delays hurt performance. Any brief network issue could bring services to a stop.

From that experience, I learned federated tables are best for predictable environments with stable connectivity. In fast-moving AI tools or AI for web, these limitations can become serious obstacles.

RabbitMQ for Scalable, Event-Driven AI Applications

RabbitMQ is a message broker that supports asynchronous communication between services. Instead of calling one another directly, services send and receive messages through queues. This design is perfect for AI use cases in distributed, event-driven systems.

Decoupling services boosts fault tolerance and scalability. In one project, we used RabbitMQ in a travel platform to handle a high volume of notifications—email, SMS, and push—without burdening the core booking service.

Setting up RabbitMQ clusters required more effort. Ensuring message order and high availability took planning. Still, the benefits in AI projects—like flexibility and resilience—far outweighed the extra work.

Federated Tables vs RabbitMQ: Choosing for AI Architecture

When evaluating these two tools, you should consider the structure of your system and how your services interact with data. Federated tables work best in applications that need real-time access to a centralised source of truth. Sectors like banking rely on this setup to keep account balances consistent across branches. Similarly, AI for companies often benefits from this model when multiple teams need access to a shared customer database.

RabbitMQ, by contrast, performs well when your system requires decoupled services and asynchronous task execution. It handles millions of events in data analytics pipelines, supports coordination across microservices in a web AI platform, and powers scalable project management AI tools. Startup AI environments also gain value from RabbitMQ as they scale and build modular, flexible codebases.

Using Both: A Hybrid Model for Complex AI Systems

One logistics platform needed real-time inventory sync and background processing. We used federated tables for warehouse stock visibility and RabbitMQ for delivery updates and notifications. This hybrid setup gave us both consistency and scalability. Federated tables managed time-sensitive operations, while RabbitMQ processed tasks in the background. This model worked well in modern AI web systems and large AI applications.

Why Scalable AI Applications Moved to RabbitMQ

As the systems I worked on matured—particularly those incorporating apps for AI, AI in web, and customer-facing AI tools—it became clear that federated tables, while valuable for small-scale operations, were too limited for what we needed. RabbitMQ emerged as the better option in microservices where scalability, resilience, and asynchronous communication were essential.

With RabbitMQ, we gained the ability to design systems that were loosely coupled and more fault-tolerant. We were able to persist messages during service downtime, retry failed events automatically, and use advanced routing strategies that are critical for dynamic AI online services. Features like topic exchanges allowed messages to reach only the relevant consumers, helping us reduce overhead and keep services cleanly separated—something increasingly important in enterprise AI and business deployments.

Conclusion: Selecting the Right Data Replication Tool for AI Projects

Your choice between federated tables and RabbitMQ depends on your project’s structure, performance needs, and growth plans. If you’re building a smaller system or need immediate consistency, federated tables often meet those requirements. They suit centralised setups and integrate easily with AI websites and smaller AI projects.

On the other hand, systems that need high throughput, flexibility, and resilience—especially those involving AI for work, tool AI, or AI apps spanning multiple services—benefit more from RabbitMQ.

Both technologies support different goals within the business of AI. Developers, architects, and AI engineers should know when to apply each one. Whether you’re building the next best AI product or aiming to learn about AI through real-world projects, designing your data flow with care leads to long-term success.

If you’re looking to optimise your microservice replication strategy or need guidance on choosing the right tool for your system, our experts are here to help you understand how federated tables or RabbitMQ can best fit your needs, ensuring your architecture is scalable, reliable, and efficient. Contact us now to get personalised advice and solutions tailored to your unique requirements.

These tools help optimise revenue and margins, finding the sweet spot between profitability and competitiveness.

Moreover, for SMEs, AI for small business pricing can level the playing field against larger competitors who traditionally rely on vast data resources. By incorporating AI services and ai & machine learning approaches, even smaller companies can harness data-driven insights.

Dynamic & Personalised AI Pricing Tools

Dynamic pricing, powered by tools AI, adjusts product or service prices in real-time based on demand, competitor pricing, and other external factors. For example, an online retailer could use web AI platforms like Prisync or Pricefx, which integrate easily with existing systems and offer tailored solutions for SMEs.

Additionally, personalised pricing uses customer data to tailor offers for specific segments or individuals. However, transparency remains essential—customers should clearly understand pricing differences to maintain trust.

Price elasticity modelling involves analysing sales data with machine learning is AI techniques to assess customer sensitivity to price changes. For example, businesses can identify which products respond most positively to price adjustments.

Furthermore, competitor monitoring is facilitated by AI online tools like Competera or Skuuudle, providing real-time insights into competitor pricing and enabling swift reactions tailored to SME needs.

Overcoming SME Challenges with AI Pricing

Despite the benefits, AI for companies requires clean, comprehensive data, yet SMEs often struggle with limited datasets. To overcome this, start small by gathering accurate sales and market data on key products. Many companies with AI solutions offer flexible pricing tiers, making adoption easier for smaller firms.

Moreover, avoid overly aggressive or opaque pricing strategies to maintain customer trust. Instead, use AI strategy to add value and improve transparency.

Steps to Implement AI Pricing for SMEs

First, begin by assessing your business needs and identifying pricing inefficiencies. Determine whether challenges arise from competitor responses, seasonal demand, or margin improvement. Then, choose AI tools for business that offer ease of integration, scalability, and user-friendly interfaces.

Next, start experimenting with small pricing adjustments on a limited product range and evaluate the impact of your AI-driven decisions, refining your approach based on real-world data.

AI Pricing Success Story: SME Example

AI-Optimised Customer Behaviour Analysis for SMEs: Key Insights

Posted on by Layana Chandran

Boost SME growth with AI-driven customer behaviour analysis. Discover insights, personalise experiences, predict trends, and enhance customer retention efficiently.

Did you know that businesses using AI-driven customer behaviour analysis tools report a 20% increase in customer satisfaction on average? For small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), this could be the edge needed to stay competitive in an increasingly data-driven world.

Understanding your customers has always been critical to business success. But in today’s fast-paced, tech-savvy landscape, traditional methods like surveys and focus groups are no longer enough. Enter artificial intelligence (AI) – a game-changer for SMEs looking to decode customer behaviour and anticipate their needs with precision.

Why Should SMEs Care About AI in Customer Behaviour Analysis?

Gone are the days when AI was the exclusive domain of large corporations with unlimited budgets. Today, AI tools are accessible, affordable, and, most importantly, effective for SMEs. These tools can revolutionise your ability to deliver personalised customer experiences by analysing past interactions, preferences, and purchasing patterns.

For instance, AI-driven customer behaviour analysis can suggest the perfect product to a customer just when they need it, enhancing satisfaction and boosting sales. You can also gain actionable insights by identifying trends and patterns that would otherwise go unnoticed. You might discover, for example, that customers in a particular demographic prefer a specific product line, allowing you to fine-tune your marketing strategies.

Additionally, predictive analytics helps anticipate customer needs. By analysing historical data, AI tools can forecast future buying behaviours, giving you the edge when it comes to planning inventory and campaigns.

Another significant benefit is improved customer retention. AI-driven behaviour analysis can identify disengaged customers and spot early signs of churn, allowing you to take proactive measures, such as offering personalised promotions or communication to re-engage them.

Practical Example: AI in Action

Consider an online clothing store. With AI-powered customer behaviour analysis, you might uncover that a specific segment of your customers tends to shop for winter wear in early October. Using this insight, you could send personalised emails featuring your latest winter collection in late September. Additionally, AI can predict which items are likely to sell out based on past trends, allowing you to adjust your stock levels in advance. This proactive approach not only drives sales but also strengthens customer loyalty by demonstrating that you understand their needs.

Challenges to Consider

While the benefits of AI are clear, adopting it isn’t without its challenges. Data quality is crucial, as AI is only as effective as the data it analyses. SMEs need to ensure their customer data is accurate, up-to-date, and comprehensive. Furthermore, while AI tools have become more affordable, initial investment costs for integration and staff training can still be a barrier. Privacy concerns, too, are on the rise. Customers are becoming increasingly cautious about how their data is used, making it imperative for businesses to adhere to data privacy regulations.

How to Get Started

To successfully leverage AI, start by defining your goals. Whether you’re aiming to boost sales or improve customer retention, having a clear objective is key. Selecting the right AI tools for SMEs is equally important. Platforms like Zoho, HubSpot, and Pipedrive offer AI-driven customer behaviour analysis tools specifically designed for small businesses.

Start small by implementing AI in areas like personalised email campaigns and expand its use as you see results. Investing in team training is also essential to ensure your staff understands how to use these tools effectively and interpret the insights they provide.

The Bottom Line

For SME decision-makers, leveraging AI-driven customer behaviour analysis is no longer optional—it’s a necessity. By embracing AI, you’re not just staying competitive; you’re setting your business up for long-term success. Start small, stay informed, and watch as AI transforms the way you connect with your customers.

AI-Driven Data Analysis for Business Growth and Efficiency

Posted on by Layana Chandran

Unlock the Power of AI-Driven Data Analysis to Improve Process Efficiency, Boost Decision-Making, and Enhance Customer Satisfaction for SMEs

Did you know that over 80% of businesses still struggle to fully leverage their data for meaningful insights? Despite the growing availability of tools and technologies, many SMEs (small and medium-sized enterprises) are sitting on a goldmine of data they are not using to its full potential. The irony? It is often not the lack of data but the inability to extract actionable insights from it that limits growth.

As tech decision-makers, you understand the power of data. But here is the real question: are you making the most of it? Enter Artificial Intelligence (AI). AI is more than just a buzzword; it is a game-changer when it comes to analysing data and driving process improvements. Let us explore how AI-driven data analysis can help unlock hidden opportunities for efficiency in your business.

How AI Converts Data into Actionable Insights

AI-driven data analysis excels at processing large volumes of data far more quickly and accurately than humans ever could. Traditional data analysis methods might involve basic reporting or manual reviews, which can be time-consuming and prone to error. AI, on the other hand, can identify patterns, trends, and anomalies across vast datasets, delivering insights that would be almost impossible to uncover otherwise.

For example, consider an SME manufacturing company that uses AI-driven data analysis to assess production data. AI could pinpoint inefficiencies in the production line, such as machinery downtime or underused equipment, allowing managers to make real-time adjustments. The result? Reduced waste, improved resource utilisation, and enhanced productivity—all without the need for constant human oversight. Learn more about AI in business to explore how it can transform your operations.

Tangible Advantages for SMEs

Let us take a step back and look at the real-world advantages AI-driven data analysis offers for SMEs like yours.

One of the most significant benefits is enhanced decision-making. With AI-driven data analysis, data becomes more than just numbers on a report. It becomes a tool for making informed decisions. AI can help you identify trends before they become problems, forecast outcomes, and make smarter strategic moves. Think of AI as your business’s digital assistant—constantly scanning your operations, processing information, and offering suggestions to improve efficiency.

Another key benefit is improved operational efficiency. AI’s ability to analyse processes in real-time allows for rapid detection of inefficiencies. Whether it is identifying bottlenecks in your supply chain or recognising repetitive tasks that could be automated, AI-driven data analysis provides the insight you need to streamline operations. This, in turn, can result in cost savings and faster delivery times.

When it comes to customer satisfaction, AI can also play a crucial role. It helps analyse customer data to identify preferences, behaviours, and trends. With this insight, you can create tailored experiences for each customer—whether it is a personalised marketing campaign or custom product recommendations—leading to higher engagement and loyalty.

AI’s predictive capabilities are another important advantage. Rather than waiting for a problem to arise, AI allows you to identify potential issues before they happen. This proactive approach can be applied across various areas, from inventory management to customer service, ensuring you are always one step ahead.

Real-World Scenario: AI in Retail

To illustrate the impact of AI-driven data analysis, let us look at the retail sector. Imagine a retailer using AI to track sales, customer preferences, and inventory levels in real time. The AI system can analyse this data to forecast demand trends, ensuring that the right products are available at the right time. This prevents stockouts and reduces excess inventory, both of which can negatively impact profits. By improving stock management, the retailer is also able to optimise their supply chain, reducing costs and improving delivery times.

The result is clear: AI-driven data analysis boosts not only operational efficiency but also customer satisfaction by offering the right products when customers want them.

Navigating the Challenges

Despite the immense potential, implementing AI-driven data analysis presents some challenges. These are not insurmountable, but they do require attention.

One challenge is ensuring data quality. AI is only as good as the data it is trained on. Poor-quality or incomplete data can lead to inaccurate insights. To make the most of AI-driven data analysis, ensure that your data is clean, structured, and relevant. Investing time and resources in data quality is crucial for AI to work effectively.

Another challenge is integrating AI with existing systems. For AI to provide value, it needs to seamlessly integrate with your current tools and processes. This can be difficult for SMEs with legacy systems or limited technical resources. However, many AI solutions are designed to be flexible and integrate with a wide variety of platforms, so this is becoming less of a barrier.

Skills and knowledge also play a role in AI adoption. While AI technology is powerful, it can be complex. The good news is that many AI tools are user-friendly, and you do not need to be a data scientist to benefit from them. However, you may need to invest in training or hire a data expert to guide you through the process and ensure you are leveraging AI-driven data analysis to its full potential.

Getting Started with AI

If you are ready to harness AI-driven data analysis for process improvement, the first step is defining your goals. Identify the areas of your business where data analysis can have the most significant impact, whether it is improving supply chain efficiency, enhancing customer experiences, or reducing operational costs. Having a clear goal will help guide your AI implementation.

Starting small and scaling is another important consideration. You do not need to overhaul your entire operation at once. Test AI on a small project or department, measure the impact, and scale it up as you see results. This approach minimises risk and allows for adjustments along the way.

Choosing the right AI tools is crucial. There are numerous AI solutions available, from easy-to-use platforms for data analysis to more advanced machine learning options. Make sure you select tools that align with your specific needs, budget, and technical capabilities.

Investing in training for your team is also key. Ensure that your staff understands the basics of AI and how to interpret the insights it generates. Empowering your team with the knowledge to make data-driven decisions will maximise the value of your AI-driven data analysis investment. AI training resources are available online to help your team get started.

Finally, it is important to continually monitor and optimise your AI systems. AI is not a one-and-done solution; it is an ongoing process. Regularly assess its performance and refine your strategies based on the insights generated. This iterative approach ensures that your AI implementation remains effective and delivers long-term value.

Conclusion

AI-driven data analysis is no longer a futuristic concept reserved for large corporations. It’s an accessible, powerful tool that can drive significant improvements in efficiency for SMEs. From streamlining operations to personalising customer experiences, the potential benefits are vast. The key is to start small, stay focused, and keep optimising.
