01 / Services
Six disciplines. One standard.
From architecture diagrams to production pipelines, from cloud platforms to growing engineers — everything we do is held to the same bar: clear, durable, and built to last.
Software Architecture
End-to-end architecture for systems that have to scale, evolve, and survive their second year. From domain modeling to deployment topology.
Good architecture is the difference between a system that grows with your business and one that fights it. I design architectures that are explicit about their trade-offs: clear module boundaries, well-defined contracts between services, and data models that reflect the domain instead of the framework.
My work covers the full range — monolith-first designs that stay maintainable, event-driven and microservice systems where the scale genuinely demands them, and graph- or vector-backed data architectures for knowledge-heavy products. Every design comes with the reasoning written down: architecture decision records, diagrams the team can actually keep up to date, and a migration path from where you are today.
I also review existing systems. If your codebase has grown faster than its structure, I can map the current state, identify the seams, and produce a pragmatic, incremental plan to get to a healthier architecture without stopping feature delivery.
Cloud Solutions (Azure / AWS)
Cloud architecture and migration on Azure and AWS — serverless, containers, identity, and cost-aware design that holds up in production.
I build and migrate workloads on Azure and AWS with a strong bias for managed services and simple operations. That means Azure Functions and AWS Lambda where event-driven fits, containers where you need control, and a clear answer for identity, networking, and secrets from day one — not bolted on after the first audit.
Typical engagements include lift-and-improve migrations of .NET systems to the cloud, designing multi-tenant SaaS foundations with Entra ID, and building integration layers that connect on-premises systems with cloud services securely. I pay attention to the parts that hurt later: observability, disaster recovery, and a cost model you can explain to your CFO.
Everything ships as infrastructure-as-code, with environments that are reproducible and a deployment story your team can run without me.
DevOps Engineering
CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code, and release automation that turn deployments from events into non-events.
Teams move at the speed of their delivery pipeline. I build CI/CD setups — GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps — that take code from commit to production with automated tests, security checks, and zero-downtime releases, so shipping on a Friday stops being a discussion.
The foundation is infrastructure-as-code: Terraform or Bicep definitions for every environment, Docker-based builds that run the same way on a laptop and in the pipeline, and configuration that lives in version control instead of someone's head. I add the operational layer too — structured logging, metrics, alerting — so you find out about problems from a dashboard, not from a customer.
I work hands-on with your team during the build-out and leave behind pipelines they understand, own, and can extend.
Software Development
Senior hands-on development in .NET and modern web stacks — APIs, integrations, and AI-powered features built to production standard.
I write production code, not proof-of-concepts that someone else has to rewrite. My core stack is .NET and C# on the backend — ASP.NET Core APIs, Entity Framework, background processing — paired with React and TypeScript on the frontend where a UI is part of the job.
Recent work centers on data-intensive and AI-assisted systems: graph databases like ArangoDB for connected-data problems, vector search and retrieval-augmented generation for semantic features, and LLM integrations that are engineered like real software — with evaluation, fallbacks, and cost control — rather than demos.
Whether I'm embedding in your team to deliver a feature or building a system end-to-end, you get clean, tested, documented code and honest estimates.
Teaching & Mentoring
Workshops, code reviews, and one-on-one mentoring that raise a team's level permanently — not just for the duration of a project.
The most durable improvement you can make to a codebase is improving the people who work on it. I run hands-on workshops on .NET architecture, cloud patterns, and AI engineering — built around your actual codebase and problems, not slideware examples.
Mentoring engagements pair me with your developers for regular sessions: design discussions, structured code reviews, and pairing on hard problems. Junior developers learn how to think about trade-offs; senior developers get a sparring partner for architecture decisions. Teams I have worked with consistently point to this as the part with the longest-lasting value.
Formats are flexible — recurring remote sessions, intensive on-site days, or review-based mentoring async over pull requests. The goal is always the same: a team that needs me less every month.
Technical Leadership
Fractional tech-lead and architect leadership: translating business goals into technical strategy and keeping delivery honest.
Many organizations have strong developers but lack the connective layer between business goals and technical execution. I fill that role — as a fractional tech lead, lead architect, or technical advisor — translating product strategy into a technical roadmap the team can deliver and stakeholders can trust.
In practice that means owning the hard calls: build versus buy, when to take on technical debt deliberately and when to pay it down, how to scope an MVP so it ships without painting the architecture into a corner. I work directly with developers — through requirements breakdowns, design reviews, and clear implementable tasks — so velocity comes from clarity, not pressure.
I have led teams through greenfield builds, replatformings, and rescue projects. What you get is steady technical direction, decisions that are documented and revisitable, and a delivery culture that survives after my engagement ends.
