Architecture Journal
About
I am Samson, a full-stack software engineer currently focused on solution architecture and the practical application of AI agents in enterprise environments.
Over the past 9+ years, I have worked across finance, government, healthcare, and automotive domains, with most of my hands-on experience centered around Java backend development, system architecture, microservices, cloud deployment, and test automation.
I am currently working at Cathay Financial Holdings as an assistant architect, where I focus on internal AI enablement, development workflow standardization, SaaS transformation evaluation, and agent-oriented proof-of-concept work. A large part of my work sits between engineering execution and architectural decision-making: researching options, building POCs, aligning teams, and turning ideas into working technical direction.
What I Write About
This blog is where I document the work behind software systems, not just the outcomes. Most of the writing here will focus on system design, architecture trade-offs, engineering standards, and how AI agent capabilities can be introduced in a way that is practical, maintainable, and useful.
I am especially interested in topics that sit at the boundary between architecture and delivery: technical decision records, integration patterns, platform thinking, developer workflow design, and the operational realities of building software inside larger organizations.
