- Scalable Architecture & System Design
I design and build software architectures that support growth rather than restrict it. Whether working on a greenfield product or an established platform, I stay hands-on with the code while shaping the overall system, ensuring architectural decisions translate into reliable, working software.
This includes designing microservices and distributed systems where they genuinely add value, defining clear system boundaries, and implementing solutions using proven patterns and technologies. By remaining involved from high-level design through to implementation, I help teams move faster with fewer surprises and systems they can confidently evolve over time.
- Legacy System Modernisation
If your software is difficult to change, slow to evolve, or holding the business back, I can help you move it forward safely. I work with existing systems to reduce complexity, improve performance, and introduce modern architectural patterns where they make sense—without forcing a full rewrite unless it’s genuinely the right option.
- Cloud Migration & Azure Architecture
I help organisations migrate to Azure with a clear plan and a focus on long-term maintainability. Whether you’re preparing for growth, improving resilience, or reducing operational risk, I design cloud architectures that are scalable, secure, and aligned with how your teams actually work.
- Hands-On Technical Leadership
Sometimes teams need experienced technical leadership, not just advice. I work closely with developers, product owners, and stakeholders to provide clear direction, mentor teams, and take ownership of critical technical decisions—keeping delivery moving and reducing uncertainty.
- Performance & Reliability Improvements
When systems struggle under load or behave unpredictably, I help identify the real causes and implement practical fixes. My focus is on measurable improvements in performance, stability, and confidence in production systems.
If you need experienced, hands-on technical leadership to help you modernise, scale, or stabilise your software, let’s talk.
