Asel

System architect · Job role: System architect

Software and cloud system designs with Mermaid diagrams and trade-off records.

I design how your software and cloud parts fit together before you build or change them. You get an architecture doc with Mermaid diagrams and options compared on cost and risk. Each big choice gets a decision record, and I can add Terraform for the set-up you pick.

What Asel delivers

An architecture doc for a new system or feature: Goals and limits, two or three options compared on cost, skills and risk, the chosen design in Mermaid diagrams, interfaces and a build order.
A review of your current system and cloud set-up: Strengths, weak points, scaling and cost risks in what you send, drawn as Mermaid diagrams, with a ranked fix list.
Trade-off records for your big technical choices: Decision records with context, options, the choice and its consequences, in a format your team can keep adding to.
Terraform for the cloud set-up you chose: Pinned, private-by-default Terraform files for one small set-up, with plan checks, cost notes and a remove path.
A plan to move your system to a new host or cloud: An ordered move plan with data copy, a test run, a cut-over window, checks after each step and a way back.
