IT Consulting & Software Architecture
Expert software architecture consulting. Code audits, technology selection, system design and scalability planning from an engineer with enterprise experience.
Architecture decisions that pay dividends for years
The most expensive bugs are architectural ones - they compound over time and become harder to fix with every sprint. Getting the architecture right from the start (or correcting it before it's too late) saves orders of magnitude more than it costs.
We offer hands-on consulting grounded in real delivery experience. Our team has designed front-end architectures for enterprise financial platforms, built multi-product open-source organisations and shipped numerous web, mobile and extension applications. This is not theoretical advice but proven, practical guidance.
Services range from one-off architecture reviews and technology selection workshops to ongoing fractional CTO engagements. We focus on TypeScript/JavaScript ecosystems, PHP backends, CI/CD pipelines, monorepo strategies and cross-platform code sharing.
Architecture decisions informed by delivering enterprise-grade platforms for financial institutions. The same strategic thinking is available for your project.

Monorepo vs Multirepo in 2026: when to choose each approach
Monorepo and multirepo solve the same organizational problem in different ways. A monorepo stores multiple applications, libraries, or services in one repository, while multirepo separates them into distinct repositories. In 2026 the choice is no longer just about repository size. Modern tooling can limit CI to affected projects, cache results, enforce architectural boundaries, and partially check out very large Git trees. The real question is not which model is universally better, but which coordination costs an organization wants to pay and where it needs shared context versus isolation.

Docker Compose vs Kubernetes: what your project really needs
Docker Compose and Kubernetes solve problems at different levels. Compose is excellent for defining and running a multi-container application, especially on a single host. Kubernetes is a cluster orchestration platform that adds multi-node scheduling, self-healing, stable network services, controlled rollouts and autoscaling. The decision should not be driven by container count but by availability requirements, scale, deployment frequency and the team's ability to operate the platform.
