He leans into the visual side of programming, using animations, boxes, and arrows to clarify software architecture and design concepts. His day-to-day work involves tackling eventual consistency, multi-tenancy, and micro-frontends. He recently shared how his team successfully extracted a feature from a monolithic application into a microservice without any downtime. When he isn't migrating data or dealing with CORS, you can find him sharing his visual guides to software engineering on YouTube. ## Past Sessions ### World Congress 2024 · July 17, 2024 Berlin, Germany - [Migrating from a monolith to a new service](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/events/world-congress-2024/sessions/280-migrating-from-a) · 30 min
