Gourouvin

Software Architect ·

I'm a fullstack developer with lead developer experience on production web projects. I love understanding the need, structuring technical choices and building applications that are simple to maintain. My military background also taught me to maintain a clear, reliable and collective approach, especially when topics become complex.

How I think about architecture

Business Need
Understand the domain
→
Architecture Decision
Choose, document, own it
→
Delivery
Reliable, tested, maintained

I always start from business needs before picking a technical solution. I favor a well-structured monolith over premature microservices. I document ADRs (Architecture Decision Records) and challenge conventions when justified.
