Architecture & DevOps
The wrong architecture call doesn't hurt today — it hurts in year two, as a six-month rewrite in the middle of a funding round. I design systems that survive the next order of magnitude, working from product outcomes down to runtime topology so you never pay for the wrong abstractions.
- Service patterns: monolith, modular monolith, service-oriented
- Domain boundaries, contracts, and integration design
- Enterprise integration shape (SAP, ERP, CRM, payments)
- Architecture decision records (ADRs) on the load-bearing calls
- AWS, Azure, GCP — chosen against the customer, not the engineer
- Kubernetes when it pays for itself, serverless when it doesn't
- Multi-region and multi-tenant where the model demands it
- GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Azure DevOps pipelines
- Logs, metrics, traces — OpenTelemetry-first
- Cloud cost reviews, FinOps guardrails, autoscaling sanity
- Architecture review document with ADRs
- Production-ready CI/CD and IaC baseline
- Observability stack with SLOs and on-call runbooks
