Time ZoneFlexible

Seasoned architect. Pragmatic engineer.

With over 8 years working at the intersection of enterprise platforms and software engineering, I specialise in helping organisations make smart technology decisions β€” and then delivering them.

My background spans both the strategic (architecture reviews, platform selection, integration roadmapping) and the hands-on (building production systems in .NET, Node, React, and Salesforce). This dual perspective means I can own both the "what" and the "how" of complex technology programmes.

I work best with organisations undergoing digital transformation, platform migrations, or those looking to bring AI and automation into established enterprise workflows.
