How do all the moving parts on your website or app communicate with each other? How do you combine a road map for strategy with the engineering knowledge to get everything working together? These are the questions we address in a System Architecture or Strategy phase of a project.
System architecture is a solution based strategy that makes sure everything works as it should and is one of the areas I’m most passionate about. For example, let’s look at the popular site Amazon. There are buyers and there are sellers, and both interact through a robust UI sitting atop an underlying dataset and the intelligence that drives what you see in the UI. Before anyone codes the project, a roadmap is created to ensure that all the parts speak to each other. When someone goes to Amazon to search for an item, they don’t see all the moving pieces on the backend, or the AI that’s in place to make sure they get the right result. When there is proper strategy, those moving parts are completely invisible to the end user.
In a nutshell, that’s what I can help you achieve with strategy and system architecture.
Having the right architecture in place is key to your enterprise software or web application running smoothly. The right architecture means you won’t have to be putting out fires whenever you need to change code or implement new features. It’s the solid backbone that your entire system is built on, so it should be done right.
I can help you revamp your current system architecture to get it working for you, or can create a new architecture from the ground up. As an architect with multiple certifications (Oracle Java, AWS, GCP), you can trust that you’re getting the very best expertise for your job. The sky’s the limit on how we can work together.
Past System Architecture Projects include:
- Evaluation of technologies/platforms
- Evaluation of vendors
- Helping you navigate the decision to build your own component or purchase it from a vendor
- Setting up the development framework
- Refining requirements with product management
- Mentoring other engineers on strategy
