How I work

Four habits behind every platform I ship.

  1. Step 01

    Model the data first

    Start from the schema: entities, relations and constraints that will still make sense at ten times the traffic.

  2. Step 02

    Build a typed API

    Contracts the frontend can trust, with caching where it actually moves response times.

  3. Step 03

    Ship admin tooling with the product

    Dashboards, monitoring and analytics go out with the feature, so operations never wait on engineering.

  4. Step 04

    Harden and scale

    Edge protection, automated pipelines, containers, tests and code review before anything reaches users.
