Implementing Clean Architecture
When projects technically fail, the reason is frequently uncontrolled complexity – where Clean Architecture remains a concept on paper, not in code. This talk demonstrates how to achieve predictability by implementing Clean Architecture based on a code structure, not just discipline or code reviews.
Abstract
Has implementing Clean Architecture become more of an ideal than a reality in your projects? Despite its clear rules and intended separations, the complexity of growing codebases and the crunch of time often render these principles invisible in practice. When projects technically fail, the reason is often uncontrolled complexity – where Clean Architecture remains a concept on paper, not in code.
In this session, I will show how to get predictability by implementing Clean Architecture through structure, rather than relying on discipline and code reviews only. I’ll show how to create a structure that makes it easy to write the code that follows your architecture and at the same time it makes it difficult to write the code that doesn’t.
You will walk away with a recipe and building blocks for creating a foundation in code that sustains Clean Architecture and the level of quality in your code that can control the complexity of the project.
This structure will enforce separation of concerns and how dependencies are created. It will deliver predictability by creating a Code Design that is maintainable, extensible and reusable.

Drawing from our extensive project experience, we develop training programs that enhance predictability and reduce the cost of change in software projects.
We focus on building the habits that make developers adopt the industry best practices resulting in a flexible code design.
Services
Our Software Architecture and Project Design services combined, help organisations transition from staff augmentation, where they sell hours, to becoming solution providers, where they deliver project milestones.
Software Architecture
We support key architectural decisions, from System Decomposition to Detailed Technical Design.
Our work involves identifying critical system behaviors, core technical requirements, and providing tailored solutions.
We assume the responsibilities and decisions of the architect role, acting as the design lead, technology lead, and process lead.
Project Design
We apply an effective engineering method to create an actionable project execution plan.
The plan outlines the schedule of activities, allocates resources, and makes strategic trade-offs to meet project goals within constraints, balancing schedule, cost, and risk.
The process provides charts and tools to track progress and adapt the plan during execution.
Coaching and Mentoring
We help architects, managers, and developers build the skills needed to achieve their goals with ongoing support.
We are available to your team while they work, providing access to our extensive project experience. We engage directly with the project, becoming familiar with its specific requirements and constraints.
Our goal is to build skills within your team, enabling them to achieve their goals independently rather than relying on us.
We lead in design, technology, and process, empowering projects and organizations to achieve their goals. We collaborate closely with client architects, product managers, and project managers, providing coaching and mentorship to help them succeed.
About
Code Design is a consulting agency specialising in the design phase of software development.
Over the past decade, Florin has led the design and implementation of complex software systems across industries such as Energy, Finance, Healthcare, Business Productivity Tools, and Insurance. These projects involved distributed systems built for long-term, incremental development, overcoming common challenges to ensure success: on time, within budget, and on quality.
Florin’s experience often includes coaching and training the developers implementing his designs, further enriching the training materials he provides.
At Code Design, Florin collaborates with a team of like-minded professionals and experts, many of whom he has previously worked with, to deliver comprehensive, high-level services in software development.
