Blog: Not Just Code.
Who am I - and what this is?
Hi, I’m Jan. I’m a systems architect and technical leader with 13+ years of experience building complex, high-availability software—and helping teams make it actually work.
Most delivery problems aren’t caused by bad code. They’re caused by hidden risks, unclear trade-offs, and a lack of real ownership between roles.
This blog is where I unpack the patterns, tools, and mental models that help developers, tech leads, and PMs fix what’s actually slowing them down—before it turns into fire-fighting, friction, or burnout.
No fluff. Just what works.
Not just code.
