Daniel Koenawan

Solution Architect · Systems Thinker · Pattern Collector

A decade mapping distributed systems, data flows, and cloud platforms. I work at the boundary where business constraints meet technical possibility — turning ambiguous problems into legible architecture and durable engineering practice. This atlas is the record of that work.

Domain proficiency — radar chart

Architecture Radar

Relative depth across the four architecture domains, mapped as a celestial radar. The scanner sweeps continuously; vertex nodes mark measured proficiency. Each axis is anchored by years of hands-on work.

backend architecture · 8 years
infrastructure & platform · 7 years
data pipeline architecture · 6 years

Guiding principles — first axioms

Five Axioms I Design By

  1. Design for replaceability, not reuse
  2. Constraints clarify; options paralyse
  3. The model is the documentation
  4. Automate the mundane; reserve judgement for the novel
  5. Complexity is always the enemy — even when you invited it in

Career trajectory — observed path

Trajectory

A decade of architecture work, charted as a star trail. Each node marks a career inflection — role changes, certifications, and domain expansions.
