Building platform-level systems requires a different approach than building individual features.
Key Principles
When designing systems that replace entire workflows, I focus on:
- **Modularity** - Break down complex systems into manageable, reusable components
- **Scalability** - Design for growth from day one
- **Reliability** - Ensure system stability and uptime for business-critical operations
- **Integration** - Seamless connections between different parts of the ecosystem
Real-World Applications
I've built systems like: - **VEA Timeclock** — full attendance, payroll, SMS, housing, transportation & reporting platform - **CEPA Test** — AI-powered CEFR exam system used by corporate teams - Educational ERPs with complex workflows
These aren't just features — they're complete ecosystems that businesses rely on daily.
