Architecture That Ships

Independent enterprise architect. I design systems and then I build them — no handoff to a delivery team that wasn't in the room.

25 years across every layer of technology. Cabling, code, cloud migrations, CTO meetings. Now building autonomous systems where humans steer and AI executes — not as a strategy slide, but as shipped software running in production.

Senior technical leadership, one direct line

No layers, no account managers, no juniors doing the actual work. You get me — in the room with your stakeholders, in the code with your engineers, in the architecture decisions that shape what gets built.

Architecture that pays for itself

Most organizations buy new before maximizing what's there. I map your landscape, find the underused capabilities, and redirect them toward actual business outcomes.

I build with AI, not just about AI

I ship autonomous systems with AI agents daily. Human-AI collaboration where the human steers and owns the outcome. First-hand engineering experience with what works, what doesn't, and what's hype.

Governance that enables, not blocks

NIS2, GDPR, EU AI Act — I design governance models that satisfy regulators without paralyzing delivery. Version-controlled AI policy, auditable decision trails, compliance as architecture.

Business and tech, same person

Executive vision into implementable architecture. Technical constraints into board language. Vendor promises into reality. No translation layer, no telephone game.

Selected outcomes

15 years in global telco service delivery — every data center, every tech stack, on-prem through hybrid cloud
Operational systems architecture for a 35+ vessel fleet — 33,000 annual departures
Cloud transformation across 22 European markets — complete data center exit
40% reduction in integration complexity through API-first transformation
5-10% cost optimization by maximizing existing technology investments
Industries: Maritime & Logistics, Automotive & Manufacturing, Telecom. Domains: Agentic AI architecture, AI governance, NIS2/GDPR/EU AI Act compliance, infrastructure automation. Best fit for scaled enterprises that need someone who's done it, not just read about it.

Simple, not structured

I'm one person. That's the point. No resource allocation, no team ramp-up, no knowledge transfer phase. Three ways this typically works:

What happens when the architect also builds

The same operational experience and agentic AI engineering that drives client work led to ai-ta — an autonomous infrastructure triage agent where AI investigates, humans decide, and infrastructure learns from every cycle. Governance-first. NIS2-compliant. 77k lines of Go. Running in production.
