AI that acts. Platforms that scale.
Engineering that ships.
I build agentic AI systems, cloud platforms, and data pipelines — personally, end-to-end. Business problem to architecture, implementation to handover. The enterprises I've done this for are now recognised as technology leaders in their sectors.

What I build
From AI agents that work autonomously to platforms that grow with your team.
Stop processing documents manually.
Invoices, contracts, images, unstructured data — your AI agent receives it, reasons about it, and routes or stores structured output without a human in the loop. I build these systems end-to-end: the event pipeline, the agent, the infrastructure.

AWS landing zones, CI/CD pipelines, and network architecture. Production-ready in weeks, not quarters.

Senior engineering resource, on your terms. Architecture reviews, technical roadmaps, hands-on delivery — day rate or hourly, no retainer required.
Learn more →Senior leadership for growing teams.
Mentoring, process improvement, and delivery focus — for teams growing faster than their processes.
Learn more →AI assistants that follow your rules.
Custom guardrails and coding standards embedded into Copilot, Claude, and your CI/CD pipeline.
Learn more →DNS that doesn’t break at 2am.
Managed DNS records, infrastructure-as-code configuration, and change management that leaves an audit trail.

I understand what the business needs before designing anything. Every architecture decision traces back to a requirement — and sometimes the right answer isn't a build at all.
Business requirements, systems architecture, engineering, implementation, governance, handover. One person, full context, no signal loss through layers of specialisation.
The systems I've built are still running, maintained by the teams I've handed them to. Documentation-first is how I make that possible — your team inherits understanding, not dependency on me.
