I start with the requirements and constraints, compare the options and plan how the team will build and operate the result.
What needs to change? Who owns it? What must remain reliable?
Use modules, services and events only where they reduce the cost of change.
Design validation, migration, observability and failure recovery alongside the feature.
Measure outcomes, revisit assumptions and evolve the design as evidence changes.
I draw on my experience to assess the options against your requirements, constraints and team. I help explain where each choice fits and what it would take to make it work.
I help weigh the benefits, costs and risks of a decision, including what it means for delivery and ongoing support. Where the evidence is limited, I identify what we need to find out before committing.
I help teams agree a direction and work out how to put it into practice. That includes deciding what to do first, how to check progress and when to revisit the choice.
I explain why a design was chosen and discuss the alternatives in reviews. Mentoring, documentation and shared tools help the rest of the team work with it.
