Solutions Architect, building enterprise-scale systems with Global FinTech. Now writing about the parts nobody puts in the architecture diagram.

I have spent over a decade architecting systems, which has taught me that the interesting problems are rarely the technical ones - they are the trade-offs, the governance questions, and the "why did we actually build it this way" conversations. I write about enterprise architecture, AI adoption in regulated industries, and the occasional opinion on developer tooling.
