Software Architect & Author
Helping teams build systems that survive unanticipated change.
Most software systems are not built to change. That’s a design problem, and it’s solvable.
Consulting
Most architectural problems aren't caused by bad decisions. They're caused by decisions that weren't tested against the right questions. I help you ask them.
Training
I teach architects and senior engineers how to design from first principles to derive architectures that hold up under pressure. My courses are built for practitioners.
Writing
Software architecture generates hard questions. I write about them: design decisions, trade-offs, complexity, and why systems fail to adapt. Thinking out loud, in public.
About me #
I’m a software architect, iSAQB-accredited trainer, and author. I consult on distributed and agentic systems, deliver advanced architecture training, and speak at conferences on the topics I care most about: adaptive systems, AI, and the decisions that make software survive change.
