Hi, I’m Flavio

This is my personal space to capture hard-won lessons and make software engineering knowledge clearer and more durable.

I write about systems, architecture, reliability, and engineering leadership — aiming for depth, relevance, and real-world trade-offs.

In short

• Deep, practical essays on core engineering problems.
• Systems thinking: design, reliability, performance, and architecture.
• Leadership for engineers: decisions, communication, and trade-offs.
