IDEAS AND ENGINEERING NOTES
Practical notes on architecture and engineering.
Technical articles on the design decisions, delivery patterns and trade-offs we work through with clients and in Nexaaris Labs.
Why we write
Writing forces clarity. These articles explain how we reason about common engineering problems, including the trade-offs and the cases where a popular approach is the wrong one.
Topics we cover
Our writing follows the questions clients ask most often.
- Agentic AI: orchestration, tool permissions, evaluation and safety
- Context engineering, retrieval quality and private language models
- Azure architecture, identity and cost-aware hosting
- Delivery: GitHub Actions, OIDC, Terraform and supply-chain security
- .NET modernisation and integration patterns
