I help software developers build successful software through software architecture that fits. | Consultant & Trainer @ imarqio

Trying to move 50 people in a VW Polo? Bad idea.

Trying to scale to 50 developers with architecture knowledge stuck in one person's head? Just as bad.

Architecture development needs to fit your team - like transportation fits the number of people. With 5 developers in one team, informal coordination works. With 50 developers across multiple teams, you need systematic approaches and distributed knowledge - or your teams will trip over each other.

Know the feeling? You hire more developers, but software delivery slows down. Every new feature takes longer. Time-to-market drops. And you ask yourself: "Why is everything getting slower when we're investing more?"

The problem isn't your team. The problem is that knowledge sits in 2-3 heads - and the approach doesn't scale when you grow to multiple teams.

Most companies then try one of 3 solutions:
→ Book external training (theory without context to your organization)
→ Hire a full-time architect (concentrates knowledge in one person again)
→ Let the team figure it out themselves (overwhelming without systematic guidance)

All 3 fail at the same point: They don't embed architecture in the organization.

And meanwhile, the clock is ticking: features pile up, the business is waiting, your best developers are considering leaving.

I do something different: I help decision-makers in growing software companies embed architecture knowledge and ownership in your teams. Not through dependency, but through enablement.

My Context-First approach:
- I start with: Who makes decisions? How do you communicate? Only then: Which patterns?
- I develop WITH your teams, not FOR your teams
- My success is measurable: you don't need me anymore

22+ years of practice, 2,800+ hours of training, 321+ successful projects.

The pattern I see again and again: architecture knowledge in 2-5 heads. My work: Distribute that knowledge into the organization. Typical timeline: 3-6 months to independence.

What does your organization look like when I'm gone?
Your teams make coordinated, autonomous architecture decisions, new team members become productive quickly, and you deliver reliably - without me.

The longer you wait, the deeper the dependency on individual knowledge holders becomes.

I deliberately work with only a few organizations at a time. In our first conversation, we'll figure out if I'm even the right fit for you. No pitch, no obligation, just clarity. 30 minutes. Message me.
