Expertise

Where I can help.

Five areas I've worked in for thirty years, from the platform underneath to the team on top.

Reliable foundations for systems that matter.

AWS platforms, infrastructure as code, and recovery you've actually tested.

Designing for change, not for diagrams.

Systems people can understand, change and keep running.

Data and search that hold up in production.

Pipelines, search and AI applied to real systems, not demos.

For when it has to ship.

Stabilising, rescuing and modernising systems against real deadlines.

Leadership rooted in engineering reality.

Technical direction from someone who still reads the code.

Have a hard problem worth solving?

Tell me about the system, the team or the deadline. I'll tell you honestly whether I can help.
