05 / HOW I APPROACH PROJECTS

Understand the system before building the interface.

Projects are approached as connected systems rather than isolated pages. The business problem, entities, workflows, dependencies, architecture, implementation, and verification all matter to the final result.

PROJECT METHOD / 001 PROBLEM → SYSTEM → IMPLEMENTATION
01 Understand

Define the real problem

→
02 Model

Identify entities and relationships

→
03 Architecture

Decide system boundaries

→
04 Build

Implement the smallest useful system

→
05 Test

Verify behavior and assumptions

→
06 Refine

Improve based on evidence

→
07 Document

Preserve system knowledge

01 PROBLEM

Start with the problem

Technology should follow the business requirement. The first question is not which framework or platform to use, but what needs to change for the user or the business.

QUESTION What are we solving?
02 MODEL

Understand the entities

Users, products, organizations, orders, RFQs, content, payments, vendors, and other domain objects should have clear responsibilities and relationships.

QUESTION What exists in the system?
03 FLOW

Map how work moves

Inputs, decisions, state changes, integrations, outputs, and ownership need to be understood before complicated workflows are implemented.

QUESTION How does work move?
04 BOUNDARY

Separate responsibilities

Authentication, business data, commerce, presentation, infrastructure, integrations, and external platforms should have understandable boundaries.

QUESTION Who owns what?
05 BUILD

Build in small phases

Large systems become easier to reason about when they are built through small, verifiable phases with explicit inputs, outputs, states, and success conditions.

QUESTION What is the next smallest step?
06 VERIFY

Test what was assumed

Implementation is not complete just because the code runs. Important workflows, failure cases, boundaries, and expected outputs need to be verified.

QUESTION Did the system behave correctly?
THINKING MODEL

From ambiguity to structure.

Problem → Entities → Relationships → Flows → Architecture → Implementation
UNDERSTAND / MODEL / BUILD / VERIFY Make the system easier to reason about.

06 / CURRENT / LAB WORK

Work that is still being explored, built, and learned.

Not every useful project begins as a client case study. Some work exists to test architecture, learn engineering, explore infrastructure, or develop reusable products.
