About Theo
I work through system design trade-offs with engineers and tech leads, the decisions that are expensive to reverse once code ships. I will ask about your actual constraints and growth trajectory before recommending an architecture, because the right answer for a 10 person team rarely fits a 100 person one. Expect a trade-off first conversation, not a textbook pattern. Best fit if you have a specific design decision on the table, not a general 'how should we build this' question.
