Services
From a quick website audit to your whole platform.
I work across the entire engineering lifecycle — as an embedded engineer, advisor or trainer — for small businesses and enterprises alike.
Software built right from the first commit — clean, tested and ready for production, with AI to move faster without cutting corners.
- Production-grade backends, APIs and services
- Test-driven development & automated quality gates
- AI-assisted development with senior review
- Web UIs, native apps and installable PWAs
- Code built to be operated, not just shipped
Reliability designed in, not patched on — so systems survive the real world, not just the demo.
- Incident management & blameless post-mortems
- SLOs, SLIs & error budgets tied to user experience
- Observability: metrics, logs & tracing (Datadog, Prometheus, Grafana)
- Alerting that's actionable — no fatigue, no 3am noise
- Performance, capacity & resilience engineering
The right design across AWS, GCP or Azure — reproducible, secure and cost-aware from day one.
- Solution design & cloud strategy
- Multi-cloud architecture (AWS · GCP · Azure)
- Migration & modernisation to cloud-native
- Well-Architected, reliability & security reviews
- Cloud cost optimisation (FinOps)
A platform your developers actually want to use — paved roads, not a maze of YAML.
- Kubernetes design, migration & operations (Helm, Istio)
- Internal developer platforms & self-service
- Container build & packaging (Docker, Packer)
- Progressive delivery (canary, blue-green)
- Service mesh, ingress & networking
Everything defined in code: repeatable, auditable and safe to change.
- Terraform, Terragrunt, CDK & Crossplane modules
- Pipelines: GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, Azure DevOps
- GitOps & environment automation
- Secrets management & policy as code
- Release safety & rollback strategies
Security woven in from the start — built for regulated, high-stakes environments.
- Security-by-design / DevSecOps
- IAM, least privilege & secrets management
- Compliance & audit readiness
- Vulnerability & reliability assessments
- Backups, disaster recovery & business continuity
I write code too — backends, APIs and data systems built to last.
- Backend & APIs (Java/Spring, Python/Django, Scala)
- Distributed & event-driven systems (Kafka, Spark, Cassandra)
- IoT & telemetry platforms
- Test-driven development & code quality
- Web applications
Fast, secure, well-run websites — from a quick audit to ongoing care.
- Performance & security audits (a clear, prioritised report)
- WordPress / WooCommerce speed & hardening
- Corporate sites & online stores
- CDN, caching & Core Web Vitals
- Ongoing monitoring & maintenance
Level up your team — from hands-on workshops to executive briefings.
- Company seminars & workshops (SRE, cloud, Kubernetes, DevOps, security)
- Team upskilling & paved-road bootcamps
- University-grade teaching (Java/OOP, software engineering)
- Executive briefings on reliability & cloud strategy
- Hands-on labs & enablement
How we can work together
Flexible engagements, scoped to what you actually need.
- Audit / review — a fixed-scope deep dive into reliability, architecture, security or performance, delivered as a clear, prioritised report.
- Project — I design and build a specific thing: a platform, a Terraform foundation, an observability stack, a migration, a website.
- Advisory / fractional — ongoing senior engineering capacity, by the day or on retainer.
Not sure which door is yours?
Tell me about the system and the headache. I'll tell you honestly whether — and how — I can help.
