Meet your host

I'm passionate about designing sustainable and reliable system that address the customer needs.

Recently I've realised that intricate process of defining architecture and engineering software is not obvious to everyone. That makes managing software projects difficult and leads to sub-optimal design choices.

My goal is to make IT systems and software better and more manageable. My mission is to educate to make it happen.
