Solution Architecture

I design target architectures for information systems — from data structures to the integration landscape. I build around the existing core, not instead of it.

Обсудить

Most problems in enterprise IT systems are problems of architecture, not technology.

A company buys the best software on the market, then a year later discovers the systems aren’t connected to each other, data is duplicated, and adding a new feature costs as much as half the original project.

I design architecture that works for the business: a clear integration model, unified data flows, a scalable structure. And most importantly — I build around what’s already working, not replacing it from scratch.

Target Model

How It Should Work

Solution architecture must define how systems interact, where data is stored, how load scales, and how new capabilities are added. Good architecture means you can evolve the system without rewriting it from scratch.

Common Mistakes

Where Companies Typically Go Wrong

No unified integration map — each system lives in isolation

Architecture is undocumented — knowledge lives in three people's heads

New modules don't fit into the existing landscape

Data duplicated in 5 places with no single source of truth

Companies want to replace the core system entirely instead of wrapping around it

No layering — business logic lives in the interface

No API contracts between systems

Approach

What I Do in These Situations

I start by surveying the current landscape: what systems exist, how they connect, where the bottlenecks are. Then I design a target architecture that builds around the existing core — extending it, not replacing it. Every architectural decision is tied to a business objective.

Team role: I own the strategic architectural decisions and integration model. The team details technical specs, works out API contracts, and implements the design decisions.
