Platform & Systems Engineering
Rust and WASM systems work, plugin boundaries, distributed job scheduling and the deployment shells around them. These are the parts that decide whether any of it survives contact with production.
Engagement shapes
- Architecture review
- 2–4 weeks, fixed price
- Thin slice to production
- 6–12 weeks
- Embedded delivery
- Quarterly, capped
- Fractional architecture
- Retained, a few days a month
Most of what makes a system last is boundaries: what a plugin may call, what a port abstracts, where a job may run. We draw those explicitly and write down the trade-off, because the next person to touch it will not be in the room.
Plugin architecture
WASM component boundaries, host-call surfaces and versioned interfaces, so extensions cannot reach past the one door you gave them.
Ports and adapters
Domain logic that depends on traits, with each environment supplying its own adapter, so a new backend becomes a new adapter rather than a rewrite.
Distributed execution
Peer discovery, leases, fairness and warm pools for scheduling work across machines, including intermittently reachable ones.
Deployment shells
The same core shipped in-process, as a daemon, or compiled to wasm32, chosen per target rather than per rewrite.
- Interfaces documented as contracts, in your repository
- An architecture decision record for each real trade-off
- A build that a new engineer can run on day one
