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.
