Senior Architect

Architecture design and analysis tools for making informed technical decisions: visualize system structure, analyze dependencies and coupling, detect architectural patterns, and run decision workflows for databases, patterns, and monolith-vs-microservices trade-offs.

Core Capabilities

• Diagram generation — produce component, layer, and deployment diagrams in Mermaid, PlantUML, or ASCII from a project directory.
• Dependency analysis — map the dependency tree, score coupling (0-100), and detect circular dependencies across npm, pip, Poetry, Go modules, and Cargo.
• Pattern detection — assess an existing codebase for layered/MVC/hexagonal/clean/microservices patterns, layer violations, god classes, and mixed concerns.
• Database selection — match data characteristics, scale, and consistency needs to SQL/NoSQL options with an ADR template.
• Pattern & topology selection — choose an architecture pattern by team size, deployment, and data-boundary requirements.
• Monolith vs microservices — apply decision checklists and a modular-monolith-first hybrid strategy.

When to Use

• Designing a new system or refactoring existing architecture.
• Evaluating microservices vs monolith, or choosing a database.
• Writing an ADR, planning for scalability, or reviewing a system design.
• Generating architecture diagrams for documentation or team review.
