What I do

Services

Solution & Integration Architecture

Solution architecture, system design, and technical direction for complex, integration-heavy environments where the integration is the hard part.

Quality, DevSecOps & Observability

Test strategy, release confidence, monitoring, and secure development practices, helping teams ship without surprises.

AI, Built Hands-On

I build AI products myself, so I can tell you where AI genuinely fits in your systems and where it doesn't. Practical assessment, real integration, no hype.

Is this a fit?

When to bring me in

You're facing a significant architecture decision and need a senior perspective before committing
You have systems that were never meant to talk to each other, and now they have to
Your systems are growing and becoming increasingly hard to maintain, extend, or reason about
You're modernising legacy infrastructure and need a clear, realistic path forward
You're weighing up where AI fits, and want an honest read from someone who builds with it rather than sells it
You need senior technical leadership, without a full-time hire or a large consulting firm
Quality, reliability, or observability has become a recurring problem, and quick fixes haven't held
You have capable engineers but lack someone to set direction, make trade-off calls, and keep the big picture in view

About me

A bit of background

I'm a Solution Architect and Engineering Leader with a background in complex enterprise environments, insurance systems, IoT platforms, and large-scale integrations. I've spent my career at the intersection of technical depth and practical delivery, working with teams that needed both. These days a good share of my hands-on time goes into building AI products, which keeps my advice grounded in what actually works.

I work independently because it lets me focus entirely on the problem at hand, without the overhead of a large firm or the distraction of internal politics.

Have a challenge worth solving?

I'm happy to have an initial conversation — no commitment, no sales pitch. If there's a fit, we'll know quickly.
