Why work with me

Direct delivery, no bench

15+ years owning integration and platform architecture on complex, regulated systems, the kind where governance, availability and audit trail matter as much as the build itself.

Most recently that's meant acting as the senior technical authority on a nationally critical Azure data platform for Great Britain's energy market, setting the technical standards and governance frameworks a whole delivery team worked to.

Whatever the engagement, the person you brief is the person doing the work. No hand-off to a bench, no juniors learning on your contract.
