Boundary Analysis
Architecture and dependency boundary mapping with ADR documentation. I trace how data flows through your system and identify where coupling is creating hidden costs.
I review software architecture with a focus on testability, correct boundaries, and decisions that won't become impossible to change later.
Architecture problems rarely announce themselves. They show up as tests that are impossible to write, deploys that require coordinating three teams, and refactors that keep getting pushed to "next quarter." I help you see the structural issues that are slowing you down—and give you a sequenced plan to fix them without stopping feature work.
Architecture and dependency boundary mapping with ADR documentation. I trace how data flows through your system and identify where coupling is creating hidden costs.
A systematic review of where dependencies block clean unit testing. You'll get a map of what's testable, what isn't, and exactly what needs to change.
Evaluation of planned changes and refactors against your current architecture. I identify which changes are safe, which are risky, and which ones will cascade.
A sequenced plan that starts with quick wins and builds toward structural improvements. Every step is designed to deliver value before the next one begins.
I've been reviewing and redesigning systems since before microservices was a buzzword. The principles haven't changed—boundaries, testability, and reversible decisions.
I focus on the architectural choices that pay dividends over time—the ones your team will thank you for in 18 months, not just next sprint.
Whether you're planning a new system or recovering from years of accumulated debt, the process works. Most of my clients are somewhere in between.
Architecture debt compounds like interest. Every month you wait costs more than the review would have. Let me show you where you are and what the path forward looks like.
