Engineering Notes
Things I've learned while building
Short write-ups on the decisions behind the systems I build — integrations, background processing, and knowing when a system needs more structure. Written from real work, including what I would do differently.
Designing a Multi-Provider Integration Layer
How to build an abstraction that supports multiple external providers without tightly coupling the application to one vendor.
Processing Large Datasets with Background Jobs
The engineering considerations involved in importing large files without overwhelming the application or the database.
When Should You Introduce More Complexity into a System?
Balancing good architecture against the temptation to overengineer — and how to tell the difference in practice.
