How I build

One idea. Six steps. Real users.

  1. P1

    Diagnose in writing

    Before touching anything, the gap goes on paper. My own ISO 9001 diagnostic named my department's worst finding.

  2. P2

    Rules in the database

    Business rules live in PostgreSQL. The client gets no write privilege it does not need.

  3. P3

    Tests in CI

    SQL assertions against a disposable database, Vitest on the app, five-stage pipeline before anything ships.

  4. P4

    Ship to real users

    Internal tools go live for the people who asked for them, on the shop floor, the same week.

  5. P5

    Report the KPIs

    The numbers I report come out of the systems I wrote, including the unflattering ones.

  6. P6

    Iterate

    Overrides from the panel, not from a redeploy. The system changes with the operation.

Experience

Learning by doing. Since 2019.
