Engineering, architecture & applied AI

Practical solutions for complex technology and business problems.

I work directly with founders and engineering teams to investigate the problem, define an appropriate technical approach and help deliver it. The right solution depends on your systems, constraints and business priorities—not a predetermined technology stack.

Discuss a challenge ↗Start with an assessment

01 / Architecture & modernisation

Understand the system. Make the next move deliberate.

Independent technical investigation and direction for teams facing architectural uncertainty, performance limits or a major change to existing systems.

Technical Due Diligence for StartupsEvaluate architecture, scalability, security, technical debt and engineering risks. Useful ahead of investment, acquisition, major hiring or a critical product decision.

Application Performance and Scalability EngineeringInvestigate application, API and database bottlenecks; identify root causes and prioritise changes based on evidence.

System Modernisation RoadmapAssess legacy constraints, define a target architecture and sequence migration into practical phases with explicit dependencies and risks.

02 / Cloud & engineering platforms

Build a dependable foundation for product engineering.

Platform foundations that support reliable delivery, operational visibility and growth without adding unnecessary complexity.

Cloud-Native Platform EngineeringDesign cloud infrastructure, deployment workflows, environments, observability and operational foundations aligned to the product's needs.

Engineering Platform and Developer ExperienceBuild reusable tooling, CI/CD foundations, development environments and automation that reduce friction across the engineering lifecycle.

Multi-Tenant SaaS Platform ArchitectureDesign tenant provisioning, isolation, configuration, subscription-aware capabilities and operational patterns for multi-tenant products.

03 / Enterprise platforms & operations

Connect systems and remove manual work.

Make fragmented applications and manual processes work as a coherent operating system for the business.

Enterprise Integration HubConnect ERP, CRM, finance, HR and external applications through well-defined APIs, events and integration workflows.

Custom ERP EngineeringBuild business-specific ERP modules, extend ERPNext and Frappe, and implement domain workflows and integrations.

Business Process DigitisationConvert spreadsheet-, email- and document-driven processes into traceable applications, workflows, approvals and operational reporting.

04 / Applied AI

Use AI where it improves real work.

Integrate AI into existing engineering and customer workflows with attention to context, access boundaries, review and human control.

AI-Powered Software MaintenanceApply AI to codebase analysis, bug investigation, test generation, documentation and engineering assistance, with developer review and controlled access.

AI-Powered Customer OperationsGive support teams customer context, response suggestions and workflow assistance connected to the systems they already use.

How I engage

Start with the problem, then choose the right level of involvement.

Depending on the challenge, I can provide an independent assessment, architecture and technical direction, a proof of concept, critical component development or hands-on implementation. I can work alongside your existing team and adapt the engagement to the decisions that need to be made.

A practical path

Investigate → Design → Validate → Deliver

Understand the business outcome and current system.
Map constraints, dependencies, risks and unknowns.
Compare solution options and make trade-offs explicit.
Validate the approach through prototypes or technical spikes where useful.
Support implementation and knowledge transfer.
