Student portals, learning platforms and administrative systems at scale. We build for this sector’s constraints from the first session, rather than discovering them in week three.
Regulated, high-volume environments do not reward improvisation. Uptime targets, audit trails and integration depth are treated as requirements from the first architecture session, not as hardening applied at the end.
What tends to matter here
Identity and access control, evidence for auditors, and integration with systems that predate the web. We plan for all three up front and design the release process so a change can be shipped without a maintenance window.
