Hi, I'm Alexandru.

Why buildfailed.dev?

I like understanding how things work. The code is part of it, but so are the boundaries, the trade-offs, and the decisions that make a system easier to live with.

This blog is where I write about those things: problems I've worked through, ideas I've tried, and lessons I want to remember.

What you'll find here

The blog starts with Java and Spring Boot, and branches into architecture, frontend development, MySQL, and infrastructure.

I also make independent apps. You'll find them on the products page, with a closer look at what each one does.

If something here sparks a question or a different perspective, I'd be happy to hear it.
