I’m an engineer passionate about DevOps, System Design, and Flow.
Inspired by The Phoenix Project, I love exploring constraints, causality, and efficiency to create better systems… and a better world!
Outside of tech, I enjoy gardening, martial arts, guitar, cooking, and writing. Let’s connect!
Introduction Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is often described as a game of human chess, where strategy, leverage, and technique play a crucial role. Observing BJJ through the lens of the Theory of Constraints, a concept from systems management, offers a perspective on how physical and biomechanical limitations shape the practice. These constraints arise due to an opponent’s actions or a practitioner’s own movements, influencing the flow of engagement on the mat. ...
Introduction The Organization Decision Record (ODR) framework provides a structured approach to decision-making by clearly defining context, constraints, and requirements. However, as decision complexity increases, manually evaluating all possible options becomes impractical. Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSP) offer a way to systematically optimize decision-making by leveraging constraint-solving algorithms. In this article, we’ll explore how to convert an ODR decision into a CSP problem and implement it using Timefold, an open-source optimization engine. ...
Introduction As a manager, it is often really hard to make your process for making decisions crystal clear. As well as making these decisions understood, collaborative, and integrated. How often do you hear or pronounce sentences: “That decision makes no sense”, “This decision is unrealistic”, “I think you’ve missed the point” or “Isn’t this a better solution”? An obscure decision-making process can only lead to confusion. Well, you are in the right place, let me introduce you to the ODR: Organization Decision Record. ...
