1:1 architecture accelerator · By application
A private room for the decisions you cannot rehearse in public.
An eight-week private accelerator with Praveen VR. Eight 75-minute sessions, applied to the architecture, career move, or platform decision in front of you.
Eight private 1:1 sessions, tailored to the stack and domain you work in.
A candidate-paced curriculum: multi-tenancy, micro-frontends, and AI workflows.
A complete system blueprint you can defend in a review, a promotion panel, or a board room.
No production code required — every lab uses representative case studies and your own design exercises.

The private roadmap
Eight sessions. One architecture you own.
The work is built around your target domain and career move. There is no generic classroom script — every session is prepared for the system you bring.
Pillar 1
Enterprise systems architecture
Private instruction on enterprise tenancy, PostgreSQL row-level security, and clean context propagation — applied to case studies from your domain.
Pillar 2
Micro-frontends & distributed topology
Module Federation, shared contracts, and asynchronous pub/sub patterns, so you can architect multi-module platforms without losing ownership.
Pillar 3
AI workflows in production
Deterministic human-in-the-loop state machines, headless agent workers, guardrails, evals, latency, and token cost — not chat demos.
Pillar 4
Staff & principal design defence
Private sparring for high-stakes reviews: trade-off framing, review-board practice, promotion packets, and executive communication.
Fit
Who this is for.
This is a private training engagement for people already carrying architecture responsibility, or about to.
A fit if you are…
- Technical founders and CTOs who need to make architecture decisions with confidence.
- Senior and staff-track engineers preparing for a principal or staff review.
- Engineering managers moving into architecture leadership who need to defend technical decisions.
Not a fit if you want…
- Juniors or bootcamp graduates looking for coding fundamentals.
- Anyone who wants mock interviews only, with no architecture design work.
- Teams looking for a fractional CTO to run delivery. This is training, not outsourced execution.
8-week curriculum
Specific outcomes, week by week.
Eight 75-minute private sessions, one per week. Between sessions you get two to four hours of applied work on case studies and your capstone.
Week 1
Baseline & architecture assessment
Assess a representative system: constraints, failure modes, and cost drivers. Agree the capstone and success metrics.
Deliverable
Assessment report + prioritised risk list
Week 2
Data layer & multi-tenancy
Schema strategy, PostgreSQL RLS, tenant isolation, migrations, and query performance on a representative data model.
Deliverable
Data decision record + migration plan
Week 3
Service boundaries & contracts
Modular monolith versus services, API and event contracts, sync versus async, idempotency, and failure handling.
Deliverable
Boundary map + contract specification
Week 4
Frontend & distributed topology
Module Federation, shared state, independent deploys, and the trade-offs of distributed ownership.
Deliverable
Topology design + rollout plan
Week 5
AI workflows in production
Where AI belongs, human-in-the-loop state machines, guardrails, evals, latency, and token cost.
Deliverable
AI workflow spec + eval plan
Week 6
Reliability, security & delivery
CI/CD, observability, SLOs, secrets, threat modelling, rollback, and verification gates.
Deliverable
Production readiness checklist
Week 7
Staff / principal defence
Trade-off framing, a mock review board, the promotion packet, and executive communication.
Deliverable
Defence deck + mock panel feedback
Week 8
Capstone defence & roadmap
Present the capstone architecture and defend the decisions. Leave with a sequenced 90-day implementation plan.
Deliverable
Final blueprint + 90-day roadmap
Training, not consulting
Nothing confidential needs to leave your company.
This is a private training program. We never need your employer's repository, credentials, or customer data — so there is nothing confidential to approve.
1
No access
No repository access, code audits, or production reviews. You learn the patterns, then apply them in exercises.
2
Representative systems
Work through fintech, healthtech, IoT, and enterprise SaaS architectures with real trade-offs — not toy tutorials.
3
A design you can present
Your capstone is an architecture you can defend publicly, with no employer IP involved.
Investment
A private engagement, scoped after a conversation.
The 1:1 accelerator runs for eight weeks with three seats per quarter. Investment is confirmed after a short intake conversation, so the scope matches the work you actually need. Employer sponsorship is supported.

The 1:1 Architecture Accelerator
For senior engineers, technical founders, and engineering leaders who need to design and defend the next system, not collect another certificate.
Eight private sessions with Praveen VR.
A custom domain blueprint and defence deck.
A sequenced 90-day implementation plan.
A direct, confidential room to test your thinking.
Next step
Bring the decision you cannot take alone.
Tell us what you are designing, defending, or preparing for. If the accelerator is the right room, we will say so. If it is not, we will tell you that too.
