How I Build

Root Cause Focus

Software should exist for a reason. I aim to understand deeply what you actually need and why.

Direct Collaboration

No layers between you and the programmer. Directly convert the 'why' into the 'how'.

Simplicity First

The best systems are the ones that don't need to exist. Less code, less data, fewer moving parts.

Open Foundations

You don't design a new screw to build a house. I build on open technologies—no lock-in.

Lifecycle-Aware Design

Architecture shaped by operations and maintenance, not just development.
