I'm a hands-on architect, who puts pride in understanding what an IT platform can and what we would like it to be able to do in the future. I believe that it is important to look at a platform as a whole and not just project-by-project or feature-by-feature, since the underlying platform capabilities is what should empower us in creating strong governance, responsive & resilient systems and all-in-all a greater user experience for the end-user, that being a customer or an employee.I strongly believe that this is accomplished by close collaboration between end-users, SMEs, UX, UI and tech-people like myself, where each opinion is met with an open-mind an a respect for each persons knowledge.My usual suspects in what guides me during development at the moment is Clean Architecture, DDD'ish thoughts, clean & meaningful abstractions, the 'make it hard to use wrong'-mantra and 'we must keep learning'.
