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.
What I do
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.
Track record
Selected outcomes
Working together
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:
Embedded advisory
Your architect on retainer. Direct access for strategy, technical decisions, and the hard conversations.
Sprint engagements
Migration, platform selection, architecture overhaul. Hands-on from design through delivery.
Due diligence
M&A tech assessment, vendor evaluation, or a second opinion before you commit to something big.
From insight to product
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.
