When it comes to cloud platforms, there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. Over my decades in software development, I’ve grown to take inspiration from Daoist principles—crafting architectures and systems that grow organically, adapt fluidly, and empower the people they serve.

The goal is not to create a static system—a deliverable designed to last for X years before becoming obsolete. Static systems, whether robust or fragile, ultimately fall short. Both robust and fragile systems deteriorate over time.

The real goal is to build something antifragile—an organic system that includes its users and operators, growing stronger and more adaptable through change.

Antifragile systems thrive under adversity.

🌱 Iterative:

"The path that can be walked is not the true path."

In Daoism, this reminds us that true progress emerges through action, not rigid plans. Similarly, I believe the architecture that can be fully designed upfront is not the right architecture. By building iteratively, I let platforms evolve naturally, reflecting real-world needs and priorities.

🌊 Scalable:

"Nothing in the world is as soft and yielding as water, yet nothing can better overcome the hard and strong."

Scalability is about flowing with growth, like water overcoming barriers. I design systems that expand effortlessly, ensuring they remain resilient and adaptive under pressure.

🤝 Team-Focused:

"To lead people, walk behind them."

A great platform doesn’t impose; it supports. I focus on creating architectures that empower teams, fostering collaboration and aligning with their culture and goals.

At Blackstack, the journey isn’t about following rigid rules—it’s about finding harmony between technology and the people who rely on it.
