SIMPLE™ Software

At SIMPLE™ Software, I'm exploring the art and science of software development with a philosophy that values clarity, efficiency, and long-term thinking. Here I'm sharing what I've learned and observed over a long career in software development. SIMPLE™ represents the core principles that guide my approach to building software solutions and delivery teams.

Beyond the general philosophy of simplicity, the SIMPLE name is an acronym that encapsulates the mindset I have tried to adopt in my work in the technology sector:

Strategic – I prioritize long-term vision over short-term fixes. Good software isn’t just about making something work today; it’s about ensuring it thrives tomorrow and delivers value beyond the mark.

Intelligence – Smart solutions come from understanding the problem deeply. I advocate leveraging data and AI to make informed decisions that drive innovation.

Minimalism – Less is more. The best software isn’t the one with the most features—it’s the one with the right features, designed to deliver value.

Patterns – Great software is built on proven architectural patterns. Right sized services, micro or monolithic, domain driven design, continuous integration, and more, lead to scalable and maintainable solutions.

Learning – The only constant in software development is change. Continuous learning is at the heart of what we do, ensuring that we stay ahead of industry shifts and best practices.

Excellence – Quality isn’t optional. Aim for high standards in architecture, code, and user experience, because great software is as much about craftsmanship as it is about functionality.
