Advanced — New Project Creation

DDD, CQRS, Clean Architecture, Microservices — driven by prompt engineering

For experienced engineers (3+ years). Systematic, production-grade use of Claude across the entire new-project lifecycle: domain modelling, CQRS+MediatR, advanced API design, event-driven systems, advanced testing (property/mutation/contract), microservices observability, and team-scale prompt libraries.
