What I do

Three practice areas, one underlying method

Every engagement starts with understanding — structured, documented, and usable after I leave.

Business Analysis & Architecture

Structured analysis for organisations that need a clear picture of what they run and what to build next.

  • Business & requirements analysis
  • Enterprise & solution architecture
  • Architecture repository (Sparx EA)
  • Governance & target roadmaps
Growing area

AI-Augmented SDLC

AI as a decision-support layer across the full lifecycle — not coding, but governance, modelling, documentation.

  • SDLC governance with AI tools
  • Systematic thinking, not just AI hype
Education

Startup & Team Methodology

A startup is a system, not just enthusiasm. Real projects show where structure makes the difference.

Employment

Methods & Frameworks

Not borrowed — built from practice

Each method emerged from real engagements. They work together as a system, not a checklist.

7Ds
Seven Disciplines for Successful Solutions

A holistic framework for IT solutions across business, system and technology domains.

APV
Assets–Perspectives–Views

Keep order among your assets. Structure knowledge so the right information reaches the right role.

SDLC
Solution Development Life Cycle

Keep track of your journey to the goal — from idea through delivery to operation.

STHMDF
SystemThinking in IT & Digital Fabrication

Startups need systematic approach, not enthusiasm only. Validated on real student projects since 2017.

Lean Canvas
Business Model Clarity

Prepare a cleaner picture of your startup from a business and investment perspective.

CAA
Context-Aware Approach

Solutions built on real people, roles, systems and situations — not assumptions.

"Eight years, one client — architecture and operations running in parallel. That is what long-term trust looks like."
30+years in IT
8years with Volkswagen
7+years mentoring teams

Framework-first, single source of truth, documentation generated as you work — not after. At VW Bratislava and Wolfsburg, architecture and IT operations ran as two parallel workstreams under one TOGAF engagement. You get a model your people can read, trust and extend long after the engagement ends.
