I am Patrick Verbeeten, I’ve started as a developer with zero experience and a lot to learn. Over the years, I’ve worked on a wide range of projects—across domains, teams, and technologies. That variety shaped how I think about software: not just how to build it, but how to adapt it, scale it, and help others do the same.

Today, my focus is on software architecture and cloud systems—and mentoring others through the complexity. I’ve built enough to know that best practices don’t exist in isolation. Every decision has a trade-off, and the value lies in understanding why something works (or doesn’t).

I write to share that perspective—not to prescribe solutions, but to help others navigate the same choices with clarity and confidence. If what I write helps someone avoid a mistake, rethink a pattern, or explain their reasoning to a colleague more effectively—then it’s worth it.
