As a professional software engineer, consultant, architect, general problem solver, I've been practicing the software craft for more than fifteen years and I'm still learning something new every day. I love sharing the things I learned, so you (and future me) can get a head start. That's why I founded reflectoring.io.

Clean Architecture Boundaries with Spring Boot and ArchUnit
When we’re building software, we want to build for “-ilities”: understandability, maintainability, extensibility, and - trending right now - decomposability (so we can decompose a monolith into microservices if the need arises).
- Spring Boot
Custom Web Controller Arguments with Spring MVC and Spring Boot
Spring MVC provides a very convenient programming model for creating web controllers. We declare a method signature and the method arguments will be resolved automatically by Spring.
