2. About the author

I’m an independent consultant specialising in software architecture; specifically technical leadership, communication, and lightweight pragmatic approaches to software architecture. In addition to being the author of Software Architecture for Developers, I’m the creator of the C4 model for visualising software architecture and Structurizr - a collection of tooling to help you visualise, document, and explore your software architecture.

I regularly speak at software development conferences, meetups, and organisations around the world; delivering keynotes, presentations, and workshops about software architecture. In 2013, I won the IEEE Software sponsored SATURN 2013 “Architecture in Practice” Presentation Award for my presentation about the conflict between agile and architecture.
