Engineering leadership and delivery, from architecture through to production.
I help teams design systems, automate the work around them, and keep them stable once real users arrive.
Areas of practice
Grouped into five categories. Most engagements draw on more than one of them.
Ways to work together
Some teams need leadership. Some need delivery. Most need a bit of both.
What to expect
Four things I hold to on every engagement, whether it runs for a week or a year.
Decisions you can defend
Architecture and tooling choices get made against your production constraints, your team's capacity, and your budget — not against whatever is trending this year.
Hands on the keyboard
I write code, configure pipelines, and debug production. Advice on its own is rarely what a team is actually short of.
Reliability treated as a feature
Deployments, monitoring, and on-call workflow get designed alongside the product, instead of being bolted on after the first outage.
Something your team can own
Clear structure, documented conventions, and no dependence on me once the engagement ends. Handover is part of the work, not an afterthought.
