SYSTEMS ARCHITECTURE · DATA · ENGINEERING
Clear architecture.
Dependable data.
Systems that work.
Zawatu is an engineering consulting practice focused on systems architecture, data platforms and dependable software. We connect technical decisions to the work your organization needs to accomplish.
Expertise that fits the system.
Start with the problem, then agree the work. Architecture reviews, engineering design and implementation are scoped around your constraints and operating responsibilities.
01 ↗
System design & architecture
Define boundaries, integrations, ownership and quality requirements before choosing technology.
02 ↗Data engineering & platforms
Build a traceable path from operational records to reliable reporting, with explicit quality and recovery rules.
03 ↗Software engineering
Design maintainable backend services, APIs and business workflows with clear responsibilities.
04 ↗Platform engineering & DevOps
Make releases repeatable and operations observable, with practical access, recovery and handover procedures.

Systems & Data Architecture Review
A focused starting engagement for organizations facing fragmented systems, unreliable reporting or difficult technology decisions.
Discuss your system ↗- A current-state map of systems, data flows and ownership
- Prioritized findings, evidence gaps and operational risks
- Architecture options and explicit trade-offs
- A phased roadmap and a review of recommended next steps
Scope, access, deliverables, timing and fees are agreed in writing before work begins. Implementation is scoped separately.
03 / ZAF
Principles before technology.
ZAF — Zawatu Architecture Framework — is our evolving approach to assessing systems and explaining architecture decisions. It starts with purpose and principles, then maps suitable technology to the actual constraints.
Explore the framework ↗- Purpose before technology
- Clear ownership and operating responsibilities
- Traceable data and decisions
- Evolution guided by evidence
