During the 25 years that Robert has been working on architecture, he has encountered a lot of architectural mistakes. You can laugh about them and you can learn from them. Robert presents in his own characteristic way a number of architectural bloopers that he has made and seen. Each example closes with some lessons for the future.
Robert Deckers has been working on formal specifications, code generation, model interpreters and methods for domain modelling, architecture, and requirements since 1991.
He has been active as architect and consultant on all organizational levels. Robert is author of the book "DYA|Software, architecture approach for mission critical applications".
Since 2010, he teaches courses on architecture and domain modelling at companies and universities, and coaches architects.
In 2013 he started his own company to devote himself to Model Driven Development with a focus on quality aspects and multiple domains because "system design software development is about integrating knowledge, and not about realizing technology".
Robert currently fulfils a PhD position at the VU in Amsterdam on that topic.
