Overview
At the heart of every well-engineered software system lies a software architecture. This course is tailored for students who wonder how to design architecture, what driving forces influence it, how to evaluate architecture, and what good architectural documentation looks like. We'll explore these concepts and their application in modern software architectures based on case studies from the industry. This course will also be helpful to prepare students for system design interviews.
Learning highlights
- This course aims to help students develop skills to design and assess software systems at an architectural level, considering their context and significant requirements.

Grading
For over 15 years, I've worn multiple hats in IT: developer, manager, head of QA, CTO, and even a university lecturer. Currently shaping solutions as an architect at EPAM, Spain, I'm dedicated to harmonizing business and technological objectives. Away from the screen, you'll find me with a guitar in hand or journeying to unexplored destinations.
