Services
Senior engineering support for complex systems — focused on decisions that last.
I help teams design the right systems and reduce technical risk in complex, regulated and enterprise environments. Engagements are pragmatic: clear scope, real deliverables, no hype.
Systems & Architecture Consulting
Design, integration and evolution of complex systems and platforms. Ideal when you need senior technical judgement to make the right calls early — or to fix decisions that don’t scale.
- Your architecture is growing messy
- Integrations are brittle
- You need clarity on trade-offs
- Architecture notes / diagrams
- Decision log (ADRs)
- Action plan & priorities
- 1–3 weeks
- Async + 2–3 calls/week
- Clear scope and outcomes
Automation & Platform Design
Pragmatic automation for real infrastructure: repeatable operations, clean tooling, and integrations that teams can maintain. (Ansible, CI/CD, scripting, platform workflows, etc.)
- Manual ops are slowing you down
- Automation exists but is fragile
- You need integration with third parties
- Automation modules / pipelines
- Runbooks & operational flows
- Handover and knowledge transfer
- Project-based delivery
- Weekly demos
- Focus on maintainability
Architecture & Technical Risk Review
Independent review of architecture, automation and operational risk. Useful before scaling, migrating, or when incidents keep repeating and the root causes are unclear.
- You want a second opinion
- Reliability issues are recurring
- You need a plan you can execute
- Risk register (top issues)
- Prioritized remediation plan
- Quick wins + long-term fixes
- 1–2 weeks
- Interviews + doc review
- Final readout call
Fractional Technical Leadership
Senior guidance for teams and managers: decisions, trade-offs, delivery alignment, mentoring and execution support. Best when you need a steady senior brain, not another full-time hire.
- You need help driving execution
- You’re missing senior technical judgement
- You want leadership without hiring
- Weekly decision support
- Mentoring & 1:1s (if needed)
- Technical alignment & follow-ups
- Monthly retainer
- Fixed time allocation
- Async-first communication
How it works
You share context and constraints. I ask targeted questions to understand the real problem.
Clear scope, deliverables and timeline. No vague “advice”. You know what you get.
Work is delivered with documentation, handover and next steps. Decisions are recorded.
Let’s see if I’m the right fit.
I work with teams facing complex technical decisions, integration challenges or reliability issues. Engagements are primarily retainer-based, with day-rate options available when appropriate. Focused on outcomes — not hours.
