01/03The Discovery
DDD by design
I run collaborative discovery — event storming, impact mapping, example mapping — so product, business and devs share one model of the domain. Devs sit with the client; domain understanding flows back into the code.

Aligning tech with the real need.
Tech lead & educator with 13+ years in the trenches. I wire strategic & tactical DDD, TDD and Clean Architecture into teams — and orchestrate AI agents across the whole delivery loop.

01/04The Approach
Make the tech
serve the need
Strategic & tactical DDD, TDD, Clean Architecture — with a product, agile and devops culture on top. My job is to close the distance between a decision and the evidence about it.
I facilitate collaborative discovery so product, business and devs share a single model of the domain — and build what has real value, not just what is feasible. Then I bring domain understanding down into the code: bounded contexts, ubiquitous language, vertical slices.
Operating principle
“When you can build the wrong thing 10× faster, the discipline that tells you it’s wrong becomes more valuable, not less.”

02/04The Craft
Three pillars
Discovery to derive the right thing. Architecture to build it so it lasts. An agentic pipeline to ship it, iteration after iteration.
02/03The Architecture
Deterministic craft
Clean Architecture / Ports & Adapters, tactical DDD, CQS and modular monoliths with vertical slices. Write models local to the command, concurrency handled at the infra edge. Business rules as pure functions — tested, provable, boring in the best way.
03/03The Delivery
Agentic pipeline
End-to-end agent orchestration: US refinement → spike/probe → acceptance scenarios (BDD) → UI/UX prototype → full red/green ATDD cycle. Every generator agent is challenged by an independent reviewer. Featured on the Been There Broke That podcast.
