Approach & Philosophy

Clean code and best practices

I favour code that is readable, testable and maintainable. Each component is designed to be cohesive and loosely coupled, with explicit names and a clear architecture. Code reviews are systematic to ensure quality and consistency throughout the project.

API design

An API should be intuitive for its consumers. I pay particular attention to the structure of endpoints, authentication and fine-grained error handling. Interactive documentation (OpenAPI) always accompanies the services I develop to make them easy to adopt.

Testing and observability

Unit, integration and end-to-end tests are an integral part of my development process. I also add metrics, structured logging and telemetry to observe application behaviour in production and respond quickly to incidents.

Scalability and security

I design architectures capable of scaling while ensuring data security. Implementation of caching mechanisms, partitioning, high availability and securing communications (TLS, mTLS, JWT). Confidentiality and data integrity are non-negotiable.
