Description of Business Domains

Description of Business Domains

Being part of the Software, AI, and Management Consulting industries has given me the opportunity to work across various fields. When organizing my projects by domain, I often find it challenging to place each project in the correct folder/github repo. This can lead to search and configuration management issues later on. I believe many others face similar challenges, which is why I created this page as a way to track my work more easily. By sharing this categorization publicly, I hope it may also benefit others. This is not a formal or standardized classification, and some domain experts may feel that certain areas are not defined perfectly. I’m aware of this and present it as a practical solution to streamline my workflow.
