๐ธ15 Years of Professional Experience ๐ธ3 Startups Launched from Scratch to Finish ๐ธ50+ Projects Deployed to Production on Time Hello! My name is Michael. I'm a .NET solution architect with 15 years of experience. During my exciting tech journey, I have worked on dozens of projects in various industries including Transportation, Automotive, E-Travel, and Insurance. My roles have spanned numerous positions, including: โธ CTO โธ Tech Lead โธ Full Stack Developer โธ Solution Architect โธ DevOps Engineer โธ Project Manager โธ Recruiter โธ Mentor I have a clear understanding of every step that needs to be taken from the first draft written on a bunch of sticky notes to the sophisticated web platform deployed to production. ๐ธGuiding businesses through the maze of modern technology I'm passionate about building complex systems, whether it's a brand-new product requiring construction from scratch or a large legacy system in need of modernization and cloud migration. I understand that when it comes to technical implementation, businesses must navigate through uncertainty, facing an immense diversity of possible technical solutions. It's easy to get lost in this digital ocean of modern technologies and become overwhelmed by the challenges that arise. My role is to eliminate all questions related to technical implementation so that my clients can concentrate on their core business goals. During my IT journey, I've gathered a repository of practical insights. This equips me with a keen understanding of the common pitfalls that teams might encounter and how to deftly navigate around them. ๐ธPhilosophy and Superpower Throughout my career, I've been reassured many times that โthe best is the enemy of the goodโ. In my work, I adhere to this philosophy by keeping things simple and clear, guided by the principles of KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid) and YAGNI (You Ain't Gonna Need It). This doesn't mean sacrificing quality for speed and functionality; it's all about balance. There's no one-size-fits-all approach to achieving this balance, as it depends on many factors and varies from project to project. Feeling and wisely implementing this balance is vital. That's why I regard intuition as my superpower. By harnessing the power of my intuition, I can pinpoint the most efficient and effective approaches, saving time and resources for both my clients and the development team. ๐ธSoftwisery - My Company I also run a software development and consulting company called Softwisery. The company focuses on premium quality solutions for SMBs. Thanks for learning about me!

Here's how KISS transforms software development: ๐ธ ๐๐ญ๐๐ซ๐ญ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐จ๐๐ฏ๐ข๐จ๐ฎ๐ฌ ๐ฌ๐จ๐ฅ๐ฎ๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง Don't architect for theoretical problems. Solve today's needs with tomorrow's maintainability in mind. That fancy microservices pattern? Maybe start with a well-structured monolith. ๐ธ ๐๐จ๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐๐ฑ๐ข๐ญ๐ฒ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ ๐ฅ๐ข๐๐๐ข๐ฅ๐ข๐ญ๐ฒ Every layer of abstraction you add is potential technical debt. Each design pattern can turn into a burden on future developers. Ask yourself: "Is this solving a real problem or feeding my ego?" ๐ธ ๐๐ข๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐ ๐ฌ๐๐๐ฅ๐๐ฌ ๐๐๐ญ๐ญ๐๐ซ When systems break - and they will - simple architectures are faster to debug, easier to fix, and cheaper to maintain. Complex systems fail in complex ways. ๐ธ ๐๐๐๐ฆ ๐ฏ๐๐ฅ๐จ๐๐ข๐ญ๐ฒ ๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ง๐๐ฌ ๐จ๐ง ๐๐ฅ๐๐ซ๐ข๐ญ๐ฒ New developers can contribute to simple codebases in days, not months. Simple designs mean faster onboarding and fewer mistakes. The truth? Simple doesn't mean simplistic. It means deliberate choices that prioritize clarity over cleverness. Share your favorite example of KISS in action! ๐ #softwarearchitecture #softwaredevelopment #problemsolving
๐๐๐ซ๐๐๐๐ญ ๐๐จ๐๐ ๐๐จ๐๐ฌ๐ง'๐ญ ๐๐ฑ๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ. ๐๐๐๐๐๐ญ๐จ๐ซ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ ๐ง๐จ๐ซ๐ฆ. After building three startups from scratch and seeing countless codebases evolve, I've learned something crucial: You cannot architect a perfect domain model from day one. Here's what I've learned: ๐ธ ๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐๐ข๐ซ๐ฌ๐ญ ๐ฌ๐จ๐ฅ๐ฎ๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐ฐ๐๐ฌ ๐ซ๐ข๐ ๐ก๐ญ ๐๐จ๐ซ ๐ข๐ญ๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ข๐ฆ๐ - That "messy" code got your product to market and validated your business. Stop apologizing for pragmatic choices that served their purpose. ๐ธ ๐๐จ๐ฆ๐๐ข๐ง ๐ฎ๐ง๐๐๐ซ๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ง๐๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐ฆ๐๐ซ๐ ๐๐ฌ ๐ ๐ซ๐๐๐ฎ๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฒ - What started as a simple user management system now needs multi-tenancy, complex roles, and audit trails. Your architecture should grow with your understanding of the business. ๐ธ ๐๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐ข๐๐ข๐ญ ๐๐จ๐ง๐๐๐ฉ๐ญ๐ฌ ๐๐๐๐จ๐ฆ๐ ๐๐ฑ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐ข๐๐ข๐ญ ๐ญ๐ก๐ซ๐จ๐ฎ๐ ๐ก ๐ซ๐๐๐๐๐ญ๐จ๐ซ๐ข๐ง๐ - The most powerful improvements happen when you discover hidden domain concepts lurking in procedural code. Suddenly, everything clicks into place. ๐ธ ๐๐จ๐ง๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐ฎ๐จ๐ฎ๐ฌ ๐ซ๐๐๐ข๐ง๐๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ญ ๐ฉ๐ซ๐๐ฏ๐๐ง๐ญ๐ฌ ๐ซ๐๐ฐ๐ซ๐ข๐ญ๐๐ฌ - Small, iterative improvements are cheaper than massive overhauls. Teams that normalize refactoring ship faster because they've learned to change code confidently. Your domain model is a learning tool, not a finished product. Stop treating architectural changes as failures. They're signs that you're learning and the business is growing. What domain concept did you discover through refactoring?
