Software Architecture

Problem

• Engineering team inexperienced in Oil & Gas impaired to make swiftly architectural decisions

What I did - Influenced architectural choices

Given my technical background, I advised on architectural decisions ideal for Oil & Gas live operations. For example:

• In-transit data processing: I advised use of Kafka streaming processing instead of batch processing
• Entity model: I used Entity Relationship Diagram to guide a design that represented the business
• Cloud agnostic: I encouraged to avoid committing to tech proprietary of cloud providers

Results

• Sped up decision-making compare to just coaching on the business domain
• Enabled critical non-functional requirements (i.e., scalability and performance)
• Built trust between product and engineering
