Doctoral & Post-Graduate Empirical Research
Investigating fundamental shifts in software architecture, cloud-native modernization, citizen development economics, code smell degradation across paradigms, and the phased operational roadmap for agentic AI systems.
Cloud Transformation Challenges: do they favor the emergence of Low-Code and No-Code platforms?
Doctorate in Business Administration (Data Science) · Swiss School of Business and Management, Geneva
This doctoral dissertation research investigates whether the persistent challenges organisations face during cloud transformation — cost overruns, architectural complexity, and vendor lock-in — create conditions that favor the emergence of Low-Code and No-Code (LCNC) platforms as viable solutions for enterprise digital innovation.
Study trends in code smell in microservices-based architecture, Compare with monoliths
MS in Data Science · Liverpool John Moores University
This empirical MS in Data Science dissertation research treats the monolith-to-microservices migration as a controlled natural experiment to determine what actually happens to code smells when systems are re-platformed into microservices, testing whether 'modern' architecture inherently guarantees 'cleaner' software.
Roadmap: Operationalizing the Blueprint for Modern Software Architecture
A practical adoption roadmap translating empirical research on microservices, code smells, and cloud/LCNC transformation into a 6-phase operational plan for Agentic AI architecture — grounded in 789+ patterns at designpattern.fyi.

High-productivity application Platform as a Service (hpaPaaS)
- Research WorkThis research investigates the challenges associated with cloud transformation and explores whether these challenges create a conducive environment for the emergence of low-code and no-code (LCNC) platforms as viable solutions for digital innovation. The study focuses on cloud-native development strategies, cloud migration models, and the growing role of LCNC platforms in enabling faster application development and deployment.
