Freeze the domain.
Everything else stays liquid.

Domain is everything.

Codefreeze is a domain-first studio for fintech architecture. I keep the business model legible — at every layer, from a single Java method to the cloud subscription — while frameworks, AI agents and the regulator keep changing underneath it.

What's broken right now

Four chronic patterns I keep meeting in fintech — plus one specific to the AI era.

Four principles. One method, scaled across every layer — code, MCP, infra, AI.

Five projects, in order of methodological depth — banking origins to complete instantiation.
