About

I’m Amirul Menjeni, based in Brunei 🇧🇳 — the small petrostate on Borneo that most people can’t find on a map.

I currently work on data architecture and governance at Brunei Shell Petroleum. Before that, I was a software engineer. I still think like one: data architecture and governance are, after all, software systems problems, plus the people.

This blog is where I work through ideas by writing them down. Most of what I write sits at the intersection of software, economics, and systems thinking. I tend to borrow ideas from one domain to make sense of problems in another.

I also publish blog posts on my newsletter Architectural Crossroads on Substack.

Cheers.
