Read my work →Cloud Architecture for Critical Systems
When downtime, security breaches, or compliance failures aren't options—but your current platform can't guarantee reliability.
I take ownership of architecture decisions and execution. You get stable systems, predictable operations, fewer surprises.
For: Companies in banking, healthcare, manufacturing where systems must stay up.
Discuss your platformTechnical Leadership in Complex Environments
Your team is stuck between tech complexity, delivery pressure, and unclear ownership. Decisions take too long.
I step in to help leaders make the right technical decisions and align teams around them. You get faster decisions, less firefighting, better execution.
For: CTOs and engineering leaders who need decisive technical guidance.
Align your teamHands-On Advisory for Cloud Transformations
Cloud migration or platform rebuild ahead. High risk, unclear costs, operational uncertainty.
I work with CTOs and founders during critical transitions—focusing on what actually works, not trends. You get lower risk, controlled costs, systems that can be operated long-term.
For: Companies planning migrations or scaling through major platform changes.
