About

How I build

Pragmatic architecture, production mindset, and long-term maintainability.

I build systems that survive change

I’m Usman Rafiq, a Principal Software Engineer & Software Architect. I design and build production-grade software with a strong focus on maintainability, performance, and clear boundaries.

My default approach is pragmatic: start simple, validate quickly, and evolve architecture based on real constraints — team size, delivery speed, operations, and long-term sustainability.

Focus

Architecture

Modular monoliths, pragmatic DDD, clean architecture, and scalable boundaries.

Engineering

.NET backend systems, frontend structure, and delivery practices.

Leadership

Mentoring engineers and building teams that ship reliable software.

Knowledge sharing

Writing and teaching to document lessons and help others grow.
