The Full Stack Deep Dive

Build. Scale. Own. The sequel to The Full Stack Actuary.

Book one followed a number. This one builds it. You finished book one with a filled-in grid and a decision about where your depth goes. This is what happens next: one layer taken past literacy into ownership, against a real system, with real defects hidden in it, and everything you build engineered to leave with you. Coming 2026.

Chapters

01 — The System We Are Building. Handover, not recap.
02 — Data. Where the number begins, and where most of it goes wrong.
03 — Modelling. The part you already own, made reproducible.
04 — Orchestration. The quarter as a schedule, not a heroic weekend.
05 — Delivery. The number has to land in a decision.
06 — Cloud. Elastic compute changed what a reasonable model is.
07 — AI, ML and Agents. New capability, same accountability.
08 — Governance and Model Risk. Reproducibility is the control, not the paperwork.
09 — Solution Architecture. Seeing the whole chain at once.
